* I wonder how many of you whould have written similar to * argue against the inclusion of awk, sed, yacc, lex & csh, * using the very same arguments, in earlier days of unix ? This is the funniest message I've seen in the whole thread. How can you compare all those utilities written by the Unix developers themselves with external software whose incompatilibity between versions are yanking us around? Nobody's (well, not me anyway) talking about "bloat" here. * Tcl and perl represent a significant development in programming, * and you guys argue that they should not be in our favourite * state-of-the-art UNIX ? They absolutely should be. Didn't I say that? That is why I would like to give the user the choice, using the ports collection. Satoshi
