  • Bashforth

    A Forth interpreter, entirely written as bash script. But by now is yoda (https://github.com/Bushmills/yoda) the better bashforth.

  • oil

    Oils is our upgrade path from bash to a better language and runtime. It's also for Python and JavaScript users who avoid shell!

  • I added this to

    https://github.com/oilshell/oil/wiki/The-Biggest-Shell-Progr...

    although there are a lot of whitespace and comments to get up to ~3800 lines.

    The biggest shell scripts in the world seem to be about 10x bigger, around ~30K lines. Feel free to add any "program" that's more than 10K lines, and smaller ones if they are "interesting". (That's subjective, but I think a Forth qualifies.)

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
