That's what I think when I hear "bash".

That's literally the word for shit in Norwegian: bæsj https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/69/Nb-b%C3%...

The word “dash” is a word for shit in English (as in dashboard - literally the board on a buggy or wagon to deflect the horse droppings). That doesn’t keep a shell from being named that. Of course, dash also means to move quickly so it’s not the only meaning. Moving quickly seems to be the inspiration for the shell’s name.

Yes you’re right. My apologies. I was glancing at the examples while cooking, specifically the git example ( https://www2.dmst.aueb.gr/dds/sw/dgsh/#commit-stats ) thinking that it was iterating over the lines output from git, but clearly that’s not even how bash would work. That will teach me for commenting without giving something my full attention first doh! Looking properly at this, I can see no iteration is neede…

Admiring your multi-tasking!

Haha thank you but it’s really not that good otherwise I’d have grokked the iteration thing before making a fool out of myself!

Yeah it’s not technically DAG since it uses iteration, but then dgsh will use iteration under the hood too. However Murex does support CSP-style concurrency. So while there’s no syntax sugar for writing graphs, you can very easily create adhoc pipes and pass them around instead of using stdout / stderr. So it wouldn’t actually take much to refine that with some DAG-friendly syntax. In fact maybe that can be my next p…

would you be able to share or point to some examples? i am curious.

Sorry, it’s been a very busy couple of days so not had 5 minutes to test anything.

Stay tuned though, What I’m going to do is write a blog post about it. It’s an interesting enough topic to deserve one

Hello. In English this makes me think of the phrase “dog shit”. Not sure if that’s intentional or not.

> In English this makes me think of the phrase “dog shit”. In English, this makes me think of the phrase "dig shell". I guess we just have different things on our minds... :-p

Or shoes.
