""shell" isn't a language" - HN commenter "IshKebab" ""Shell" is not a language" - HN commenter "hnlmorg" "Although most users think of the shell as an interactive command interpreter, it is really a programming language in which each statement runs a command. Because it must satisfy both the interactive and programming aspects of command execution, it is a strange language, shaped as much by history as by design." - Brian W. Kernighan & Rob Pike Kernighan, Brian W.; Pike, Rob (1984). The UNIX Programming Environment. Englewood Cliffs: Prentice-Hall.
