Comment on Ask HN: Is There a Shell Revival?

Comments

I mean, they're useful to you, presumably, so who cares if it is a weird bubble. I'll tell you about the weird bubble I've tried. So you start with bash, then python, ask it to do it in rust for speed, and then for shiggles, have it do it in assembly! The problem with assembly is that it's not portable, and I'm currently on a MacBook which is arm, and I still need to be on x86, so maybe I'll try for c (and not c++) next.

There is a reshaping of what we think is “right”. Like, I am less and less interested in SDKs since I can just ask for a lightweight, custom, integration into anything I want based on API docs. I mean, I still use a lot of SDKs…buuuut it feels like I’m forcing the AI to use them for my monkey brain’s sake. Is predefined mashup of structured services even necessary anymore?
