;ugh. Playing the escape game in Bash. I need to echo a piped output that sends `"$VALUE"` (including the double-quotes). Tried escaping them, then escaping the escape, but no luck. So frustrating...
@yogthos I would love to do this with Babashka -- but it's all about setting up environment variables and then piping them to other application CLIs. Babashka doesn't seem ideal for that.
@worldsendless it is a bit more verbose, so for small scripts might not be worth the effort
@worldsendless this is why I'm trying out scheme (racket) as my go-to scripting language
even when using zsh, where quoting makes sense, I eventually had to sacrifice readability or performance to traverse a third dimension / variable in tables (thing combining `find` for directories, `grep` for files and lines, and then accumulating results)
guile looked ok-ish at one point (great performance, traversing multi-dimensionally is easy to read ), but I had the hardest of times matching abstract concepts with implementation ("how do I run code blocks on each `find`-ed file", "how can do it in parallel?", "can I use this API with other types?", "can I extend this API?"). Lack of examples everywhere and seems little to no activity on the internet, at least for basic scripting
@worldsendless this sort of thing is why I do all my shell scripting using babashka nowadays
