Why are people trying to shove everything into frameworks? Any time you use a framework, you have to play by someone else’s rules, limited by that person’s imagination, experience and insight. If you need something that the framework doesn’t provide, well tough noogies, you have to write it yourself! Might as well write it myself anyway with only the parts I need, keeping it lean and mean (sorry but after so many decades of dissappointments, I don’t trust other people to keep it lean and mean for me).
Looking at the modules, this is not how an experienced shell programmer would write code; functional — yes; object oriented — never. Part of the reason those of us who write in the shell do so is to escape the horror of meaningless, kilometers long stack traces and unhandled exceptions, allowing us to keep our code small and fast.
And bash, couldn’t the author have picked up ksh93 and built upon a powerful, POSIX-compliant programming language? Why aren’t we as an industry striving to be better, instead of propagating de facto fashion trends?
