Shebang, Hebang, and Webang lines. Bang lines for compiled source files
My first attempt at creating the bang line script is using Batch file as part of the Cronux collection, I later rewrite the commands in the collection using Powershell for sanity. I had to write the bash version of the script as I don't have so much time to port Cronux to Unix, Linux, and Mac.

It would allow portable graphics applications on the terminal, e.g. this C64-emulator-in-Docker only renders ASCII characters, but could be extended with sixels to render graphics (I actually tinkered with this, but didn't get far because most terminals have either none or too slow sixels support):

In preparing to teach Perl, I discovered one of the main reasons for Perl's loss of popularity. - opinion
Windows Terminal is great and an enormous improvement over conhost. That said, cmd itself isn't any better unless you extend it with something like Oh My Posh and clink. Add GNU CoreUtils to your path if (like me) your muscle memory is to use ls and rm over dir and del.
