This looks excellent - I outlined wanting something like a cross between Lua and Bash back in 2016, and at first glance, it would seem that this project by and large fits the bill:…

Recent versions of Lua use this trick as well.

I tried to prototype my own implementation of `vidir` in Node.JS a while back (not realizing that it existed under this name in moreutils), and I ended up getting derailed after re…

Yeah, I posted an edit within an hour after posting the original article - I hadn't read the further takes mentioning that the lookups were A records. I'd only read the comments in…
