Officially designated cool status 😎

1. Types.

   You explode lists manually into items when calling commands on a variable list of arguments instead of “quoting variables” to prevent them from exploding.

   Who came up with the bullshit idea that exploding strings into words is such a common use case that this footgun is preferable to have an “explode lists” syntax?

2. Errors. No more set -euo pipefail; shopt -s lastpipe to beat some semblance of sanity into bash

That’s a paradox. POSIX shells are all bad because POSIX demands bad syntax.

You can have pain word strings without also having weird “variables auto-explode into words” bullshit.

That’s why I use nushell. It has lists. You do cmd ...$some_list to call a command on arguments from a list.
