Tuesday, we linked to an interview with one of the creators of AWK, over at ComputerWorld. From the same series comes an interview with Chat Ramney, maintainer of BASH, the Bourne Again Shell. BASH is the default shell on most UNIX systems, and has been ported to Windows, MS-DOS, the Amiga, and just about everywhere else.

Those are two unrelated things.
I've written bash scripts a couple of hundred of lines in length, but I don't wish it upon anybody else.
Only geeks would measure their manliness over how difficult they can make their lives with elitism.
OS X means I only have to use Bash where I *need* to use Bash. Playing with Linux, I've found it's needed for far more than is necessary.
