@0xBE5A this is a possibility I hadn't considered. And I hope it's true. But watching her call it "short, simple, and brilliant" while other people stared at:
#!/bin/bash
Echo "several\npython\n\tlines" > x.py
Python x.py
Rm x.py
Made me both proud and embarrassed as hell. -
@RememberMe Ofcourse. VKB's explanation of how fork() works like a binary tree. Goes the left child, executes, goes back to the parent, executes and then again to the right child and executes. Will never forget that.

@deadPix3l i use spigot for math when i have to use bash.
So I was taking a Linux class in college. I knew Linux pretty good at this point but it was a required course for my degree. I found some other people who were programmers in other languages like python and C and we just fucked around the whole semester. End of semester is coming up and the teacher poses a problem: write a bash script to do this complex thing that bash isn't the best language. But it's a Linux class. Everyone is typing away while the four of us are stunned, having no clue. So we did the only reasonable thing: write a bash script which echos a full python script to achieve it into a file, run that python script, then delete it. We submitted first and got extra credit. She threw it up on the projector as an "extrodinary example" of a good script, having not looked at it. She complimented us profusely, never turning around or reading it.
