functionality != minimalism minimalism != better work flow
I use dwm and st, but I can't stand people who only care about minimalism. How can you get anything done if all you care about is keeping your package count under 500?

they are supposed to get a punishment, not a reward

for anyone who feels they could use a middleground between dash and bash, I highly recommend mksh.

How is the interactive login with mksh? Can I replace mksh for all scripts?
Camden Peterson
Non-shitpostin bump
Kayden Sullivan
For interactive login I assume you just mean using the shell interactively on your prompt. For that it's miles better than dash. It actually has a command history, simple tab completion, and other usability improvements. It's also still quite fast.
As for scripting, I wouldn't be the best to ask, but I can give you a rough idea of the backstory that might explain a bit. It started with Korn Shell from AT&T Unix. People liked it, but it was proprietary, so they made a public domain clone called pdksh. Then, some really obscure BSD offshoot forked that into mksh, which it still actively develops. mirbsd.org/mksh.htm
So in short, I guess if your scripts are compatible with pdksh, they'll work on mksh

it's a shame that rc never took off
bourne shell derivatives are an abomination

I'm not going super minimal but I've got a nice Devuan net installation going with FVWM, XTerm, ROX Filer, Mousepad, Feh, CMus, and mksh. For a web browser I'm using NetSurf, which is pretty decent.

Nigga, how did you find Jow Forums?

neo-vim strips out a bunch of old obsolete cruft from vim, and they're moving to using Lua which should be a huge improvement over vimscript which is hot garbage. (vimscript will still be supported though, so your old extensions will continue to work.)
Benjamin Mitchell
unix philosophy is just writing small modular programs that can easily interact with other programs

Hudson Davis
unironically this
systemd is an abomination and does not conform to unix philosophy
very strange that it has been allowed to get this far
