Shell scripts are a byproduct of the shell existing. Generations of programmers have cut their teeth in CLI environments. Anything that made shell scripts "no longer a thing" would necessarily destroy the interactive environment, and sounds like a ladder-pull to the curiosity of future generations. | ||
