I fully agree *but* bash is installed by default and you still need a way to automatically download the image/vm (thanks zeroconf) and then even pass arguments to the image the first time you launch it (such as proxies ;-) so that gofer will find its way)... So bash is still not useless ... snif Luc 2015-03-12 17:06 GMT+01:00 Sven Van Caekenberghe <sven@stfx.eu>:
Yes indeed, so true.
With FileSystem, Zinc, XML, JSON, CSV and all the standard things (live IDE) that we like so much, you would be crazy to use bash or perl.
Doing so also keeps your mind muscles with respect to Pharo sharp.
And GT-Tools are adding yet another dimension.

Having an OSProcess image always available from CI has made it so easy that Pharo is my go-to for most shell scripting. It's fun to use Smalltalk for much of the work (e.g. loops, conditions) and only drop into shell commands when absolutely necessary!
