More About Angle Brackets in Bash
They never got included in the lexicon, we tossed them ages ago and do not understand why they are back.
A short history of computer languages:
It started with grunt and shouts and evolved to plain text pronunciation. We encapsulated that into 26 alphas, then Fibonacci made the case we should introduce simple arithmetic and partenth. Sam squashed that down to a 40 sets of primitive ascii, he dumped the arithmetic except numbers.
We never added angle brackets, never added curly brackets, bell rings. We had a tab, message stop and start it was. OK, we buy the shift key. Functiuon keys are complete horse manure, as is menu key. Most of those puncts are throw away, meant not to be used.
That is all you get, computer geeks, it is our language, you conform to us. Plain text, parenth, arithmetic, and we do like recurse.
