There's even a Rails-like framework for Bash: https://github.com/jneen/balls

There was also Bash on Balls, in case you don't have that shiny cmd.exe on your machine https://github.com/jneen/balls

This reminded me of "Bash on balls" , a joke web "framework" written in bash. I think it might have pre-dated this a bit? https://github.com/jneen/balls/tree/master/lib

I mean, I don't think it's generational at all, there are plenty of libraries on Github that are meant to be fun and silly [1] [2] [3] [4]. I think we've largely just decoupled the fun and goofy projects from the mainline projects; I think businesses have less of a sense of humor than engineers.

Had to register just for this, hilariously inappropriate web servers written in various *sh dialects is my weird pet hobby. Some additional related projects not yet mentioned: balls (bash): https://github.com/jneen/balls czhttpd (zsh; full disclosure, author here): https://github.com/jsks/czhttpd sh-httpd (ksh): https://www.dartmouth.edu/~rc/classes/ksh/sh-httpd.html zshttpd (zsh): https://github.com/hkoba/zshttpd ZWS (zsh): http://www.chodorowski.com/projects/zws/ With zsh you can avoid the dependency of netcat/socat and use the builtin TCP module which is both super cool and terrifying.

OK, sorry if I offended you, it's just that some "trolls" are quite subtle and there are enough iffy things that I suspected a joke behind this. The project name also bears similarity to some other projects that have been jokes in the past: * Cobol on Cogs: http://www.coboloncogs.org/INDEX.HTM * Bash on Balls: https://github.com/jayferd/balls (more of a bizarre proof of concept than an out-and-out joke) That's no discredit to your own development abilities because the code itself, while far from perfect, seems sizable and functional enough to show that you've put some real thought and effort into this -- keep it up!
