The python example is also wrong, as in it produces the wrong output: Maybe if you are only worried about your own consumption you can ignore all those poor souls running literally any other application besides ssh and tmux, but at some point you're going to have to stop admiring how "readable" it is and fix it, and then what?
I don't buy that conservative coder mentality of keeping the code clean and readable, because one drop of shit is going to be impossible to remove later. In fact, I think that's bananas. Get correct first, then improve.

You jest.

Pray tell what errors do you think we need to handle?
Re the paralell stuff and python it's easy to import multiprocessing and take advantage of all cores. I think where python wins is how easy it is to handle errors and organize things as it's a full fat programming language vs a shell scripting language like Bash + the gnu userland.
