Little Languages - oils-for-unix/oils GitHub Wiki

See Unix Tools for tools that have some of these languages

Pattern Languages

Should be unified under "OCRE"

• regex: BRE, ERE, PCRE, etc. -- see Unix Tools
• glob and extended glob (from ksh I think)
• scanf - % style
• strptime - % style

Formatting Languages

Should be unified under shell-style.

• shell style with $var and ${var} -- sh, PHP, and now JavaScript
• printf-style -- see Unix Tools
• bash uses \h \W for the prompt
• Swift uses \(var)
• Python .format() uses {var}. And I think {{ for escaping.
• Most web template languages (e.g. Django, Go) use {{var}}
