POSIX is already quite lean. At most, some "legacy" utilities or conventions could be dropped, but they are here to guarantee script compatibility and whatnot
<riteo>
also, not many distros are really posix compliant ootb
<angle>
is there anything people wanna add?
<riteo>
I mean, it's supposed to be a "base"
<angle>
a new awk or something that is on basically every system?
<riteo>
the closest thing to a new awk I know is jq
<riteo>
but even then I would not advocate for its inclusion
<riteo>
it's fine as-is, I think. At most, I'd expect work on _increasing_ portability
<riteo>
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
<riteo>
(also because, btw, it's not like new stuff will necessarily get added by distros, think about tsort or pax)

ive decided to surrender and use a (semi) modern toolkit
<midfavila>
friendship with xaw ended, gnustep best friend (for now)
<midfavila>
need to read backlogs this looks neat
<midfavila>
new poosix spec?!?!?! :OOOOOOOOOOO
<midfavila>
babe wake up its time to rewrite all your shell scripts quoting rules just got changed
<riteo>
Today is a crazy day
<riteo>
it's too much for me to handle, midfavilla changing toolkit AND a new POSIX spec being released?
<midfavila>
its only temporarily
<midfavila>
altho it looks like poopian builds their stuff using the cairo backend instead of xlib so its slow as shit on xfbdev
<midfavila>
deeply unfortunate
<midfavila>
oh god and it doesnt redraw windows until youve stopped dragging objects
