We get it. You've done acid.
Nice. Just curious about your choice of shell. Why ksh instead of the usual bash, zsh, or fish?
Aside form all the stuff you find in bash, it has some additional unique features mostly related to shell programming. A few example include
--help
and a longer manpage style output available at --man
TBH, I don't even use some of these features, but it's still a very cool shell, and probably underrated. Not to mention I like being contrarian at times.
Note; AFAIU these advanced features don't apply to ksh's clones like mksh or openbsd's ksh, they are unique to the original "ksh93".
On the downside, it's command completion is pretty basic compared to bash. It completes paths and filenames, but you can't extend it to complete command line arguments to commands or anything
Nice to know. Thanks for the detailed reply.
is there any different?
They're all slightly different.
