I was wondering if pipe is now being used less as it was used to be or should be, and is this something good or bad?
It is used a lot. But, at the risk of being flamed like crazy, the UNIX pipe & shell certainly does seem primitive next to object piping supported in Microsoft Powershell (and some other proprietary known CLIs).
Never even heard about it. But VM/CMS pipes are at least 10 years old and were even then more powerful than what we have in todays bash et al.
Due to so much of the modern BLOB oriented (non-text) data and network oriented stuff I find myself using Python or something like Boo way more than the UNIX shell for both scripting and interactive work.
Never heard of Boo either, but for scripting and prototyping, I use bash and php. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (27.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
