All the scripts I've discussed in this email list run and act on the
output of external commands. Using a different language would simply
result in still calling those same external commands, but in a less
natural way, and I don't know of anything else that can do the
following particularly well:
command |
while IFS='' read -r line; do
# do stuff
done
#
I don't want to have to write my own implementation of 'git diff' in
Python or whatever, when there's already a perfectly good program that
a lot of people have put a lot of time into.
Yes, accomplishing some things in bash has required creative thinking,
but I think I've mostly come up with reasonable solutions.
You can benefit from my experience or not.
