Thanks for submitting this, speek :) For those that are interested in trying out babushka, here's a 30 second crash course.

bash -c "`wget -O - babushka.me/up`" # If you're on Ubuntu Needs a closing tick before the last double quote there. This project will no doubt save a significant amount of time. Thanks for sharing your work.

I should have copied and pasted instead of typing it out :) Thanks for the correction, fixed.

Also, contrary to the GP, there's no difference in stress, which is on the first syllable in both words. The reason they're different words is that "sh" vs. "ch" is a phonemic distinction in Russian, just as it is in English. T…

Maybe they can go for a near-homonym pun? A nested grandmother doll with butterfly wings?

Unrelated question. How did you make syntax highlighting for bash prompt? I mean, yellow strings ('user exists' on 5:40) and orange wrong commands (enclosed string "'use"). I've found no clue in http://github.com/benhoskings/dot-files

I believe that's a feature of Fish.
