Well I'm still daily driving #KornShell aka oksh after getting 20 plus years used to bash and I'm really liking using it. I can honestly say it's a work in progress but I'm learning as I go along and loving it. This feels unixy to me. #RunBSD #FreeBSD

@justine

Fan of ksh93 for as long as it's been around.

Pity it was never really stable.

@justine For interactive I don't really care. Both ksh and bash are ok.

For programming I still prefer Korn.

@justine I must have started out on the old uni AT&T 3B2 with ksh88. That must have been 88 or 89. Early adopter.

Back in the day. I'm getting loads of retro vibes from using it. Reading up on it's history too from it's beginning when David Korn created it.
