Just read the source code, bitch.
It's the most readable shit out there. Simple and to the point.

All other implementations are bad. Something everyone messed up, for example, is UTF-8. This video @11:08 explains why have suckless unix tools: http://dl.sta.li/slcon/2015/slcon-2015-01-frign-suckless_core.webm

Why do these tools have true and false?

No new interfaces but they still bother with this obsolete shit.

I'm pretty sure Plan 9 didn't mess up UTF-8...

> .webm

lol

12 Name: #!/usr/bin/anonymous : 2015-12-07 19:45 ID:Heaven

>>11
Yeah, .webm isn't suckless enough. .ogg only, please!

13 Name: #!/usr/bin/anonymous : 2015-12-12 19:07 ID:dV0p32vj

>>9
What's obsolete about Boolean logic?

14 Name: #!/usr/bin/anonymous : 2015-12-13 01:21 ID:Heaven

>>12
ogg is shitty, too. better to use HEVC and tell the patent trolls to suck it.

>>13
there's no need for true and false when (exit) and (exit 1) do the exact same thing in any modern shell.

15 Name: #!/usr/bin/anonymous : 2015-12-15 01:09 ID:uRQjlkuR

>>13
oh shit i got recked

16 Name: #!/usr/bin/anonymous : 2015-12-15 01:26 ID:gpM8bf5u

>(exit) and (exit 1) do the exact same thing in any modern shell.

not for long

>>16
you really think everyone is going to go back to using the thompson shell, almost 40 years after it became obsolete?

suckless has some bad political/economic perspectives in their /sucks/ area, so it makes their philosophy, and thus, their software suspect, by association

19 Name: #!/usr/bin/anonymous : 2016-01-01 03:38 ID:Heaven

>>18
Can you give some examples? All I'm seeing that might be considered "political" is the view that C++ is bad.
