• Amber – the programming language compiled to Bash

  I haven't seen a mention of the Oil Shell (https://oilshell.org) project's OSH/YSH yet and I'm quite surprised. Oils goal is that OSH is just a new Bash implementation (although not bug-for-bug) but with an upgrade-path to the more modern YSH for real programming with type safety etc, but still as a shell language. One of their exciting ideas is using code as data in a somewhat lisp-like manner to allow function... - Source: Hacker News / 17 days ago

• Unix as IDE: Introduction (2012)

  (author here) Yeah you just repeated what https://oilshell.org/ is You'd want to be able to go $NEWSH my-bash-script.sh and it should just work. $NEWSH my-newsh-script.nsh should also work, obviously.

      osh my-bash-script.sh  # works, it's the most bash-compatible shell by a mile.

• The roots of an obscure Bourne shell error message

  > I know how and love to write in bash. But oh god was it painful to learn This is very well said :) > Sad that there's nothing established to take its place (Perl is read-only, python is not good enough as unix glue, everything else is too obscure). Is there anything notable? Either particularly well designed, or just popular? I think I've only ever heard of Oil (https://oilshell.org). - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• AST vs. Bytecode: Interpreters in the Age of Meta-Compilation [pdf]

  In our fork for https://oilshell.org/ , and it made a lot more sense to people. It's funny how "sticky" syntax is -- because two contributors ALSO read * as "pointer" ! So I changed into the MyPy syntax after 5 years, and concluded I should have done that quite awhile ago. --- The funny thing is that while the web page says "Abstract Grammar", I would not call Zephyr ASDL a grammar. Python has a separate... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• stop getting pissed at losing

  Well it is one of the better early tier monuments, what other reason would they have for making it easier? It has always worked properly and fine. Also there was a MASSIVE uproar from the community because of it, if it wasnt just for the noobs they would have left it. https://rust.nolt.io/ had practically nothing but complaints from players on it for weeks, to this day I still occasionally see it. Not to mention... Source: about 2 years ago
