Korn -- an extended shell

Here is an idea. Rather than start off by attacking one project, why not simply focus on the strengths of what you find delightful on the one you are raving about? Furthermore, if all you use is ksh, then it stands to reason that you will not know all the strengths of bash. Finally, I would summarize by saying rather than get too involved in equations etc in bash, ksh, etc, you would be better off learning something like ruby, perl, or python that gives you much more power than shell script does. Shell scripting can have its place, but the value of having programmatic cross platform solutions makes your work much more reusable.
