Where simplicity conflicted with compatibility, I've chosen the former so far. Targeting the BSD options and behavior is another example of that. The primary goal is to feel out the data flow for each utility, rather than dig into all the edges.
cut comes to mind as a difficult one. In C, you can just hop around the char buffer[] and drop nulls in place for fields, etc before printing. You could go that way a Data.Array Char, but that's hard to justify as functional.
The other advantage is just deferring IO. For instance in split or tee, you could decide that you need 500 output files and open all the handles together in order to pass them to another function that will consume them. I'd squint at someone who wrote `void process_fds(int fds[500]);`, but here it doesn't matter.
cut comes to mind as an example, slicing and dicing lines into fields quickly without a ton of copies isn't easy. Using Streaming.ByteString generally makes a huge difference, but it's extremely difficult to use unless you get can your mind to meld with the types it wants. Picking it up again months later takes some serious effort.
Arr HN! I had a need for pirate themed insults for a D&D campaign last year and put together a generator using recursive templating. Generations are scored on a couple axes (vulgarity, viciousness, intelligence) so the output can be tailored to a particular situation. There isn't any AI at work here.I have a new blog post with a lot more detail on how it...
D&D, tech, and scuba diving!
I implemented an optimizing interpreter in Bash[1] on a plane ride, and it's still one of my favorite pet projects.
