Ok, I'll ask - why?

You have made it POSIX-ish but wouldn't one goal be to create something new ? I imagine that you just wanted to use a bunch of POSIX tools but won't that limit you in some way?

Not the OP but, ummm, maybe for no other reason than because he wanted to. Or, he wanted to learn something. I see this question a lot when someone shares their work that they are proud of and I want to scream, "What difference does it make?"

In the very first sentence of the README it states "hobbyist, educational" . That pretty much sums up the OP's motivation.

Why can't learning and exploration be their own motivation?
