@hbons This means ...... you're not writing enough bash scripts. You were just out of practice. C'mon, embrace the archaic scripting language that's twice your age!!
My first shell was MS-DOS. Then I got a unix account at uni and was dumped into sh. I figured out: hey I can switch shells, and then for years, for no reason at all, I used (t)csh. Felt more programmy! Maybe try that?

@ednl the icon brings back memories.

@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!

@RupertReynolds never heard of it. I need to check that out.

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)) -
