LOL I stepped away from Mastodon for a couple hours and everybody is VERY MAD that I made jokes about CLIs. I use them every day, guys, it's gonna be okay. I promise I did not hurt Zork's feelings. It is, however, a factual statement that CLIs are not discoverable user interfaces and they are a poor choice for mainstream audiences; this debate was settled long ago.
@anildash
I made a discoverable CLI 30+ years ago (and verified that it worked in the field), based on a design that goes back to VMS and I think RSTS. It's not difficult - or maybe I'm being too modest?
@PeterLudemann @anildash Dave Cutler's VMS was way ahead of it's time with it's CLI. It makes me sad that we are still using 50 year old commands on Linux.
