I am a developer. I have experience of working in different programming languages like C#, Haskell and Javascript. I noticed that all of them has similar library. Prelude for Haskell, Linq for C# and Undercore for Javascript. A lot of functions are common: map, filter, concat, join and so on. In daily life I need work linux shell and got the understanding that this kind of library can be applied in shell as well. So I rolled my sleeves and implemented the prototype. It would be great to read your comments. Thank you
Sorry to be pedantic but I presume you're not a native English speaker? 'Joyable' is not an English word, but rather the name of a startup company[1]. Perhaps you're looking for 'joyful'. 'Checkout' when spelt as one word refers to the place in a supermarket where you pay for the things in your basket. When you ask people to look at something, it's usually spelt as two words (as in 'check this out').
It was probably 'enjoyable'. That was one fault that didn't stop me reading on. While we're at it though, 'Checkout' used incorrectly did stop me, however, because in the software context 'checkout' could refer to more than just supermarkets. I'd fix that one. Especially on a call to action. I'd also fix 'fine file'.
Scoring grammar points could be seen as nitpicking, but I think in a Show HN situation, where fair criticism is welcome, it's helping to improve presentation and conversion rates. If some kind of 'foreign bias' kicks in for some visitors you might lose the conversion completely. Copy counts. In any language.
I honestly just assumed it was some new piece of web development jargon (like "RESTful") that I had somehow missed, and kept reading assuming it would somehow explain itself.
Nice exercise. But for utility - I have been doing the same things 15 years ago with the standard shell tools: awk, grep, sort, tail, head, cat, tac. Nothing wrong with old tech.
