Indeed, I thought about that! The shell.
Side note, many guys say they only use sh because bash, zsh
etc requires them being installed, I don't see how that can be
problem on Unix systems. Of course, zsh can't be moved to
a computer without zsh itself, but how is that less portable
just because they add super-cryptic syntax to do fancy stuff?
I mean, it isn't the features we port, but the shell?
Maybe you guys know the answer to that, never understood it
and heard it from several guys.
