    This is well made case - but I'm not sure I buy the central argument. Within some basic limits, I don't think terseness and readability have the contradiction made out here, because in programming we have abstraction, which gives us both.

    To take the example command that's given:

    beef.txt | grep "lasagna" | sort -n | uniq

    Sure, writing the logic out for this in something like python straight out the bat with only the standard library might look messy, but with one basic convenience function it could quickly be:

    search(for='lasagna', in='beef.txt', clear_duplicates=False).sorted()

    Obviously you have to write the function in the first place, but I'd say if you're doing something like this often, it's easily worth spending that 2 minutes. And if you're not doing this often, you'll have a faster time writing more code, but keeping less heavy lifting of "how does bash pipe together" in your head.

    I shared a project here a few weeks ago experimenting with what my dream shell might look like, what surprised me more than anything else, was how easy writing a repl environment actually is. I put a scrappy one together as one person in a few hours, so I don't understand why as developers we've reached general language models before being able to make a powerful, but new-user friendly shell.

    Also, completely unrelated note, but posix only allows passing back strings - but isn't this true of web apis too which we use all the time? How come no json as a standard passback from programs?

    Shameless plug for the project I mentioned earlier: https://github.com/benrutter/clamshell
