Hi Core guys,
Thanks You all, discussion was quite meaningful - at least for me. I've got:
1. Nice advices on making shell scripts more readable.
2. piCore secrets unveiled.
3. Closer view of micropython - it appeared to be the very nice tool for system scripting. With proper modules especially.
4. Ability to distinguish outdated programming languages from uptodate ones and knowledge of the modern syntax.
@Rich, I still haven't caught what are the middle age problems, but I want to ask You to mark this thread as solved.
