First of all, there is a big difference between ksh88 and ksh94. The  latte=
r is closer to bash, but it's ancient software. bash is clearly more advanc=
ed. ksh is retro computing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I get the historical interest, but in today's world, is there any=20
advantage to ksh over bash?  I get that lots of scripts are run
with /bin/sh and it is nice when that is fast, but aren't the cpus
fast enough these days that it sort of doesn't matter?
