@justine@snac.smithies.me.uk ksh93 and derivatives are the most "bloated" of the ksh's, due to (iirc..) including extra csh compatibility that isn't useful much like bash does. oksh and mksh seem to be the winners. i couldn't divine much difference between oksh and mksh during actual use, and eventually settled on mksh because i felt it was more portable, however they've both existed in every repo that i have checked. http://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm going from bash to mksh as my login shell was like when i upgraded from spinning rust to optane cache drives.
