Sometimes I find it strange - in both good and bad way - that we are, in 2020, learning tools and languages designed and build in the 80s, with models and constraints of the time, with 40 years of layers of backwards compatibility, and actually going sometimes back to the 70s
I am still learning tools designed around the constraints of teleprinters
Sure, it’s the same on Windows side (and macOS side with their classic OS compatibility layers still present, like all the HFS stuff). Not bashing bash here.
Surely our computers have very different models of operation than PDP-11, yet we are sometimes pretending it doesn’t
