This is an excellent point about pipes. There seems to be no other language which lets you stitch together pipes like Bash does. It's incredibly powerful, and worth putting up with all of Bash's warts.

Thanks for fzf, by the way. Always one of the first things I install in a new environment.

They are not the author of fzf
Tbh the sentence + the link URL also tricked me into thinking that initially.
Argh, not my intention at all. fzf was written by https://github.com/junegunn , I merely wrote a tutorial on it that got unexpectedly popular on here some years back.

I'm sorry Junegunn! I would never dream of stealing that kind of valor. I'll remember to flag [1] as a tutorial I wrote explicitly in the future.

I didn't mean it was intentional, but the URL and the context ("I wrote this ", where "this" is not clear) made me think you were the author of fzf.
https://www.nushell.sh/ is next level when it comes to pipes:
