broke my own rule of not creating new bash scripts and instantly regretting it.
-
@hbons I once wrote a single line nested if - elif - else script for my custom zed coderunner.
And now, a month later, I'm using the editor for my project, and every time I look into the script, I'm like "WTF! why?".
You've to see it to understand the insanity.

@ednl it was in Windows 95 which was great. never used it though. only Paint.

spending more time debugging the script than I was supposed to save creating a release... just going to write up the steps in a text file.
doing fast frictionless releases is dangerous anyway. it's good to slow down.
@hbons We need a more modern scripting language to be (pretty much) universal on *nix systems.
Heck, Rexx is /old/, but it's still modern, sleek and shiny compared with bash script!

@hbons
Here's one I prepared earlier:-#!/bin/regina
SIGNAL ON NOVALUEsay "Hello, world!"
say "Hello," "world!" /* n.b. inserts space by default */
Say "Hello," || "world" /* no space inserted */
say "5! is" factorial(5)
Exit 0factorial: procedure /* procedure affects scoping and allows recursion */
n = arg(1)
If n <= 2 then,
Return n
Return (n * factorial(n-1)) -
