#pdksh — Public Fediverse posts

#Illumos has another #wordexp implementation (originating with Mortice-Kern, no less!) that expects a Korn (93) shell and uses its printf (and set -o), which might be tweakable to function with #OpenBSD's PD Korn shell; but like the GNU C library licence the Sun CDDL would likely be a problem.

So if one is looking for "easily", where one just imports a compatibly-licenced and #KornShell-compatible existing implementation, the answer seems to be "No.".

#Poll: Curious about people's attitudes towards shell scripting.

Two part question:

1. Are you a DEVeloper (or working in a development-heavy role), OTHER-IT worker (such as a sysadmin, architect, anything in a non-development-heavy role), or NON-IT (accountant, doctor, whatever)
2. Do you HATE shell scripting, are you INDIFferent towards (or ignorant of) shell scripting, or do you LOVE it?
