mitnkon Grok {Shan, Shui}*: Advent of understanding the generative art

Nice series, thanks.

In day2, the author refactored some "old-school" code[1], I'd say I prefer the old-school version (the new version is less readable to me). Old-school is not out-dated nor in-correct IMO.

Is there a DR version of github.com's?

mitnkon Golang.org will be merged into go.dev

pkg.go.dev --> go.dev/pkg/ would be better.

mitnkon Cicada: A Bash-like Unix shell written in Rust

For `touch a b; echo "$(echo "$(echo "$(ls)")")"`, I'll think about it.

It looks like a bad command to me (nested $ and nested `"` do not smell good). Probably I would mark this a wont-fix. But if I found I does make sense (useful in some meaningful places) - I'll consider to update cicada to align with Bash. Thanks for reporting.

# you have to use full path to make it work:

cicada> /bin/1

A bare `1` is a math arithmetic, as described in README, which with a higher precedence.

mitnkon Cicada: A Bash-like Unix shell written in Rust

Yeah, I submited once on HN about this project two years ago. Since then quite a few new features have been added and some improvements are made. So it's time to expand the user base a bit :)

Now cicada shell is still have some issues, but overall it's quite usable. I hope it could be useful for people who are seeking simplicity and speed in daily use of the shell.

mitnkon Removing duplicate lines from files keeping the original order with Awk

> This is very memory intensive.

Only for ones not familiar with awk.

It would make a lot of sense after you understand how awk works (as the article explains).

mitnkon Removing duplicate lines from files keeping the original order with Awk

The man page of (n)awk [0][1] is surprisingly short and readable.

mitnkon Cicada – Unix shell written in Rust

You need xonsh - http://xon.sh/ :)

mitnkon Cicada – Unix shell written in Rust

You're right, I consider Cicada is the "old" generation shell. I intend to keep it simple (for speed etc). Like in readme, it won't introduce functions or other complex stuff. But still can add some feature for my own needs.

For modern shell, please check out xonsh: http://xon.sh/ - powered by Python - It's super cool!

Yes, I haven't provided the pre-built binaries yet. Maybe I should..
