What does HackerNews think of shellharden?

Why doesn't Bash's `set -e` do what I expected? | Oct 2022

I moved over to shellharden a while ago. It can actually apply the suggestions it makes. Aside from that, my employer is somewhat disapproving for GPLv3 tools, but MPL that shellharden uses is essentially auto-approved.

There is also https://github.com/nixpulvis/oursh which wants to be POSIX compatible with its own extensions. Actually I would prefer if a new shell focuses on bash compatibility.

If features are integrated, then I would probably want to have something about error handling because it is difficult to get right in bash even with shellcheck¹ plus shellharden², and gets just worse when things run in parallel.
