Hacker News Stories and Comments
All the comments and stories posted to Hacker News that reference this video.I'd highly recommend the xonsh shell for scripting if you're familiar with python: http://xon.sh/tutorial.htmlOnce you do tutorial and learn the rules for going between shell and python, it's super easy to slice and dice.
I have always disliked that moment of "yes, a shell script is probably the best tool for this job" that then leads me to banging my head against bash syntax for an hour. Python libraries like `sh` are great, but still a little high overhead. Now the twice a month I have to shell script I find to be pretty fun, and I'd highly recommend xonsh.
Great PyCon 2016 talk on it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaje5I22kgE
> BTW, i recall Intel showing off a variant of the python interpreter being run directly from GRUB.That was me: https://biosbits.org/ , presented at Pycon 2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYQ_lq5dcvM and 2016 with networking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlkKvetGFSk

That was "xonsh" (http://xonsh.org/ , pronounced "conch"), by Anthony Scopatz, presented at PyCon 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaje5I22kgE
