This is one of the reasons I started the AdaCL projects. Main goal here was
to provide a framework to write scripts directly in Ada.
Was it a success? I still don't know. The Scripts work fine with Windows,
OS/2 and Linux. But it does take a little more time to write them. But then
they are more robust then for example Bash.
The other thing that spoke against Bush: It is not feature rich enough -
yet. I did some Bush scripts and then hit the limit of Bush. The most
problematic part was the the handling of the current working directory.
With Regards
Martin
