Some die-hards at work (slowlaris lovers, etc) swear by the korn shell.
There are people that like it, but you may need to turn over a few rocks
to find them ;-).
What kind of caught my attention in the /. article is that (according to
David Korn) pdksh is a ksh88 lookalike. There has been ksh93 for some
years, and has been open-sourced recently. This version seems to have
some advanced scripting functionality... Have a quick read through the
/. article...
