@rakslice@mastodon.social @mjdxp@labyrinth.zone The funny part with shells is, bash was not their first choice. csh, then tcsh, was the traditional NeXTstep/Mac OS X shell for 30 years, everything was made for that originally. bash came in as an attempt to be "popular" instead of good. After shellshock, bash was revealed to be just a virus loader, had to go. I'm still surprised they went to zsh (which I prefer) instead of back to tcsh.

    @mdhughes@appdot.net @mjdxp@labyrinth.zone lmao, the thing that died because of shellshock was cgi. apple stopped updating bash because of the license.
