I would love this, personally. While there's not a lot of modern software that uses ReGIS, I think it (or another graphics terminal system) would be a fun feature to...

You can blame Linux for /dev/stdin not working right. Someone thought there was no need to make /dev/stdin, /dev/fd, etc work for sockets. The way the feature works on Linux...

Indeed. This is why I said they felt no need to make it work. /dev/stdin, etc. are used primarily as a shell programming convention but it's an awkward one in...

I seem to be getting some rather odd behavior here. I wanted to turn this example into a test I could use on different shells. Bash posed a problem because...

I haven't quite nailed it down yet but it looks like it comes down to this line ``` ast/src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/read.c : 649 if((size -= x) > 0 && (up >= cur...

I feel like the question of supporting vs. not supporting dynamic variables is one of those cases where the attempt to make in-shell functions and built-in objects behave like external...

As someone who has just begun exploring elvish, I feel this is a pretty glaring omission. One can iterate over an input value stream using "each" but there's seemingly no...

Swapping file descriptors was never real easy to follow in Unix shells anyway, IMO - if you don't look at each redirection in the chain in terms of the dup()...

I think that is generally the nature of this endeavour - creating a shell that is in some ways very similar to a POSIX shell but in some ways very,...

Indeed, supporting N-to-1 would not fit in with some of the general idioms of Elvish, which generally allows only N-to-N, in assignments, for instance. I had thought of proposing some...
