Instead of talking about it here, I invite you to surf to the site and learn about it.

@Dendrobatus_Azureus This is a mobile phone screenshot displaying a webpage from mbbsd.evolvis.org titled "The MirBSD Korn Shell" with a dark background and white/red text. The left sidebar contains navigation links like "Main", "Weblog for #10", "Old News & WLog", "RSS & MailingLists", "IRC (Kontakt)", and "Manual pages". The main content shows a "Table of Contents" with bullet points including "Introduction and Licence", "Documentation and Support (FAQ, IRC, manual page, mailing-lists, Fediverse, RSS feeds, ...)", "Installation", "Native Windows port of mksh R39 (contributed)", "Upgrade your packages from older mksh", "Development version", "Inclusion in operating systems", "comparison with other shells", "Testsuite Results (regression tests)", "on version numbers—for packagers", "future plans (older or unrealistic ones)", "Upgrade Caveat—for users", "ChangeLog", and "information about old versions". A note at the top states: "(Some information on this page—mostly plans and older docs—are possibly outdated, wrong or historic, although we moved most of them off to other subpages.)" and below it, the text "mksh(1) R59c" is followed by "This is the website of the MirBSD™ Korn Shell, an actively developed free implementation of the Korn Shell programming language and a successor to the Public Domain Korn Shell (pdks)." The device's status bar shows 07:01, 87% battery, and connectivity icons, with the URL bar displaying "mbbsd.evolvis.org/n".

@Dendrobatus_Azureus @mirabilos A fine example of the public domain korn shell family. Debian packages mksh rather than oksh or the original pdksh. If you are on a Debian family linux distro and you use oksh/pdksh elsewhere, mksh is a solid drop in.
