       trying to make a shell that functions as an amazing programming language will just result in something that sucks at being both tbh

       @mdszy  i've done it and...The language is actually a lot nicer than I expected it to be.It's really verbose but at least it makes it easy to see what the functions are and where they're being called from

       @mdszy honestly the most i use perl for is for mangling text. Whiiich i kinda have to do a lot. It's been very useful for formatting things for other applications hehe.

       @mdszy For example, here is a variant of one of the most used forms of this script:```use strict;use warnings;my $file = 'ListOfSteamIDs.txt';open my $info, $file or die "Could not open $file: $!";while( my $line = <$info>)  {       chomp $line;    print "DELETE * from USER_ACCOUNTS where identifier like '" . $line . "';\n";    print "DELETE * from USERS where identifier like '" . $line . "'; \n";    print "DELETE * from BANK where identifier like '" . $line . "';\n";    }close $info;```
