Bash is so terrible that I love using it. Its one of the most extreme language in that it has a lot of pros and a lot of cons.

Its also ironic adjacent that you want people to install ruby with homebrew but most people install homebrew with ruby.

Oh yeah good point about Ruby, ha. I didn't even think of that. I suddenly miss Linux and having an OS backed package manager.

The fact Apple hasn't fully embraced terminal users as an optional primary interface really bothers me. A package manager with a CLI should be part of every OS.

If I worked at Apple I'd be pushing the product team hard to embrace it. They're ignoring a big part of their operating system.
