Never been a fan of shell scripts but suddenly I realized that's #bash I did not like.

I'm curious if #windows 1.0 was smaller or not?

Anyway, bash scripts look like a puke to me. But dash, the plain shell... Yes, the plain lean /bin/sh is amazing!

Especially since someone implemented pipefail. Not so long ago, by the way, just in 2020s.

Bash is amazing as an interactive shell. If not bash, I would still use ugly mc. But for scripting bash vs sh is like C++ vs C. Mostly unnecessary.
