ShellCheck VS stan

ncurse, dialog, zenity[2]. i/o buffering may be an issue [3a,3b]

Assuming using same account, use history command to show past commands[0a, 0b]

'load random example' on shellcheck using own custom examples from history command.[1]

ShellCheck: https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck

If I want to write better shell scripts I usually run shellcheck and adjust accordingly or if I need facilities not provided by the shell i switch to a full fledged programming language. Ans oh yes, `sh` is present almost on every BSD and Linux box for free so I consider it an important thing to at least be comfortable with.

When I run nix-shell at the root of the project it puts me in a Nix shell that contains, among other programs, caddy and shellcheck. Notice that in the shellHook I add the project's shell scripts to the PATH. So once I'm in the Nix shell I can, among other things:

I have also seen some projects on github like ShellCheck which first make a library, expose all the modules and then simple add that do build-depends of the final executable. Is this the recommended approach than having just one executable and adding all the modules to other-modules:?

The error checks can be pretty arcane:

Similar to for instance shellcheck to check the syntax of shell scripts, is there an equivalent for the set of roff commands typically used in a (Linux) man page? I'm aware that e.g. pandoc permits the conversion of an other format (e.g., org) to both roff man and roff ms.

That sounds very interesting. Maybe it would not be very hard to implement a prototype of such a system with Stan?

Would you be okay if we add Soisy to the list of companies using stan?

However, I'm a huge fan of static tools like this in general. I've heard great things about https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/jfmengels/elm-review/latest/ and I need to try out https://github.com/kowainik/stan. Also its possible HLint has ways to write more advanced rules and I just don't know about them, but even if that's so hopefully I've explained why just dropping it in isn't a huge win.
