But why would it be a first april article? Are there any arguments to be made for this statement? Because the shell works, I just tested it. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but that's always the case for any given software. The primary reason I use bash over, say, zsh, despite thinking zsh is more advanced, is that I use bash mostly because it is very simple. I like simplicity. (Bash could be even simpler, I would not mind. I don't use shell scripts for instance, ruby or python are much more convenient than shell scripts.)
many years ago i wrote a parser for a python like syntax for pike which is C-syntax based. i wrote it just for fun, but it actually worked. i called it nessie, like the loch ness monster because pike(fish)+python(snake)=nessie(sea snake). i did post it on april 1st. someone took it seriously anyways. wonder if i should repost it, and then make a new release once a year, always on april 1st...

It is a clever title. It would be funny to have an April fool sounding hook but backed by a legit project.
