If C is so great, why do you have to hack in garbage collection?

This just blew my mind. I had always assumed Java was older. I started writing hobby projects in Java in the 90s. I don’t think I heard about Python until the early 2000s.

How are you compensating the search engines you query?

There’s no way this is real. Completely insane.

Yes please. Many times when I add a feature I end up refactoring some of the code first to better accommodate it.

While this looks like a handy tool, it does make me think shell scripting itself needs a cleaner approach than what we have currently.

Sometimes it’s easier to try a new idea in a new language (e.g. the borrow checker in Rust) rather than trying to shoehorn it into an existing language.
