}

Something like this (which does not currently work) would be lovely:

function widget {
    local function parse {
        ...

The #shenanigans around the invocation of #iconv are for portability (some versions of it DIE if you silence STDOUT the normal way by redirecting it to /dev/null) and then once it was a three line script I thought "wouldn't it be nice if it took arguments, and had doco, and handled errors", and at no point was solving the next little problem enough to make me re-write it in a better language, and then ... 1/2

Learning about making and creating and checking checksums in bash scripts to compare files.

Have always loved bash scripting… I am *sure* there is a much more elegant way to do this, but it's a start.

I love the very direct impacts of scripting things... 'make it do this'.... and computer dutifully complies. Including when you unintentionally tell it to do something stupid/destructive. lol.

All I can say in the Rust for #Linux debacle is: fuck both C and Rust. #shellscript supremacy! ​​
