@ -4,4 +4,4 @@ Among tops, bashtop deserves extra recognition. It's one of the most impressive
bashtop is also utterly insane. It is a single, 140KB, 3,508-line bash script. The author claims to be doing a rewrite in Python, but that will never undo the admiration I have for what he accomplished with bash. Respect, Aristocratos.
If bashtop is so great, then why am I maintaining gotop? Two reasons. First, because I can't contribute to bashtop. I'm not that good with bash - not at the astronomic level Aristocratos is working at -) and I really don't *want* to be that good. I've been there, and bash -- while universal, very useful, and probably my go-to scripting tool -- is hell to maintain at any scale. 3,500 lines of bash is a headache, no matter how you slice it. And second, because it's relatively heavy on the CPU for a tool that's supposed to sit off to the side and be glanced at occasionally. But it is an inspiration, and I sincerely believe we all -- all of us developers -- can learn something about good UI design from bashtop.
