On a tangent, I've been looking into log parsing for an application I'm building recently. If you want to support pulling info out of common logs it's pretty simple to pull together a list of regexes for the default log format in each major system. Simple example here: https://github.com/multiprocessio/datastation/blob/master/sh.... I use this in the app to be able to quickly pull info out of access logs for further analysis a la OP's app and GoAccess but in a GUI where you can also do further processing. Demo video of this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCx2mF2jyUQ&t=9s.

I want a better shell but only in that I want a Bash-like language (with builtin Linux userland programs like mv, cp, etc.) that works across macOS, Linux, and Windows. (I cannot reliably get Bash for Windows installed on every Windows device I own.) I want this for cross-platform build scripts. I build a desktop app for Windows, mac and Linux. I don't want a different set of scripts in a different language for each platform. And I don't want to write in Python or JavaScript or Ruby or Perl because they're all so much more verbose than Bash. But Bash on its own isn't enough either. I need the same Linux userland commands to work the same way on Windows. Powershell has mv and cp but they don't work the same way or have the same flags. I hacked together a version of this language in Python that operates line by line and massages the differe

nces between things like mv and environment variables in Windows, macOS, Linux. https://github.com/multiprocessio/datastation/blob/master/sc... Here's a sample script it can run: yarn setenv UI_ESBUILD_ARGS "--minify" yarn build-ui prepend "window.DS_CONFIG_VERSION='{arg0}';" build/ui.js yarn build-desktop prepend "global.DS_CONFIG_VERSION='{arg0}';" build/desktop.js yarn electron-packager --overwrite --out=releases --build-version={arg0} --app-version={arg0} . "DataStation Community Edition" zip -r releases/{os}-{arch}-{arg0}.zip "releases/DataStation Community Edition-{os}-{arch}" But this is a massive hack. So I'm starting work on a real language that supports a reasonable subset of Bash on Windows, macOS, and Linux and brings a reimplementation of the few key Linux userland commands (mv, cp, mkdir, rm plus new programs like append, prepend, replace, etc.) built into the interpreter. A sketch of this more real version implemented in Go is here: https://github.com/multiprocessio/crosh. It doesn't build at all yet but if you're interested you can follow along.
