@fasterthanlime Luckily you can escape and use $( your commands ) for your subshells. Better practice anyways and they can be nested.

@fasterthanlime I'm so afraid of those backticks since they aren't like two different parenthesis, one typo and who knows what comes.

@marco_m_aus_f @fasterthanlime I use a markdown variant that uses $() for code blocks so I can.. wait.. no, that's a terrible idea.

It could be worse. For example `rm -rf ~`
