"Shebang, I'm your father." Today we celebrate the birthday of the shebang. Forty-two years ago, Dennis Richie, the spiritual father of the shebang, wrote the following: The system has been changed so that if a file being executed begins with the magic characters #! , the rest of the line is understood to be the name of an interpreter for the executed file. And so, the she(ll)bang is born.
It's not the only birthday to celebrate today. Kaboom Shebang is going live and will share the 10th of January with the Unix shebang. 🎈
We write articles and publish presentations on subjects like digital technology, programming, cyber security, blockchain, data science, and the web. The first article is coming up.
