But I am saying that, and I believe that is what motivates the Go Team
to continue using Bash. They know that Bash works. They also know
that at any time it is possible for a version of /bin/sh (not the
abstract shell, but the particular instance installed on a particular
platform) to bite them in the butt because of the innumerable
variations. They avoid that by using Bash on Unix, command.com on
Windows (I think) and rc on Plan 9.
Byron's rc is a straw man, but it illustrates the conditions in the
wild.
