> I am wondering why not take an existing language like python, and compile that to bash? You'll run into the Alternative Implementation Problem https://pointersgonewild.com/2024/04/20/the-alternative-impl... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40337036 - 10 days ago, 84 comments Relevant excerpt: > You may read this and think that the key lesson of this post follows the old adage that “if you can’t beat them, join them”. In some ways, I suppose it does. What I want to say is that if you start a project to try and position yourself as an alternative but better implementation of something, you are likely to find yourself stuck in a spot where you’re always playing catch up and living in the shadow of the canonical implementation. This concept doesn't exactly map 1:1, but gist seems correct. Who wants to program in a worse and very limited version of Python? Who's going to keep things up to date in e.g. Amber as Python continues to evolve? Not fun. |
