Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
Why do people keep creating new shells when bash is mostly okay?
Why create anything new or different?
fieh and nushell actually offer something new, and zsh is just a better bash if you want that
There's a massive number of security holes in bash, shellshock being the most egregious. bash has some really terrible design flaws, especially parsing $var multiple times so you can't reliably break on spaces. Almost any other shell is safer and more productive.
