I thought I was possibly being a bit of a crank (deliberately swimming against the current to "prove" the current way of doing things is wrong) but this paper basically suggests the same thing. That's really encouraging. And, I often find it really annoying that programs like gdb don't have readline ability. cheers, Nick On Thu, Feb 9, 2017 at 2:09 AM, Dan Cross wrote: > Here you are: http://harmful.cat-v.org/cat-v/unix_prog_design.pdf > > On Wed, Feb 8, 2017 at 9:34 AM, Ron Natalie wrote: >> >> Anybody have a copy of Rob Pike's "Cat -v considered harmful" paper? >> >> >
