Kernighan and Pike were right: Do one thing, and do it well
For example the `file_ignored` function in `ls` would have made a nice reusable library (with standardized configuration params) and a cli tool (with standardized flags).
Missed opportunity to unify the shell and C, but I guess SmallTalk was kicking around at that time which went a whole lot further.
It's funny that we are still very much lacking this unification...
We don't have a high-level interpreted language that can also perform well as a system's language.
New systems languages are popping up all the time, but they are more and more hardcore (looking at you Rust). They don't embrace any aspect of scriptability.
The best effort I can think of is https://www.modular.com/.
Surely though, a native TypeScript-based language is the way. It by far has the nicest syntax out of the popular scripting languages today.
We have come so close...like with Dart...but still everyone seems to be avoiding the inevitability.

How do you find the developers for obscure stuff
Find the github result, for me it's the first one.

What's the point of storing a symbolic link to a relative path on disk?
I'm reading the source code of an early version of ls.c, to be precise is the one in this commit: https://github.com/wertarbyte/coreutils/commit/14fd34b78818660e05806b6eda178e3f846c5c21
- Linux has taught me to love command language (BASH and etc.). How different are command languages and programming languages?

Where to find the logic that handles escape sequences in the XFce terminal?
Found the copy of the stty source code on GitHub and I don't see handling of escape sequences. In the source code, I've found #include that was promising but there is no ANSI escape handling in its code either.
- Found around 250 hilarious CS quotes while browsing Notepad++'s code (Line 7102)

goto hell;
Better stay away from GNU coreutils then...

After 3 months I've graduated from Python and am moving on to learning C. Can I get some recommendations for open source C code that is very well written and composed as reading material?
Anyway, many of the GNU command-line core utilities are written in C. These are tools that have been developed over decades by some very smart people to reliably serve the needs of millions of Linux users all over the world. If you want examples of clean user-land C code, that’s a good place to start. https://github.com/wertarbyte/coreutils/tree/master/src

I wrote simple ls replacement in Perl
ls is written in C though source
- You can list a directory containing 8M files, but not with ls
