@adi Yeah, shell scripts kind of were “the holy grail” for me for many years, but this is changing lately. Especially the lack of proper data structures (lists, dicts) is really annoying. But, uhm, don’t let me stop you! Enjoy it while it lasts! 😁

@vain I don't believe in "shoulds" or "should nots", I believe "is to be preferred" *is to be preferred* 😜. Or "it's a good idea", or "is recommended".
