argv minus one
@argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org  ·  activity timestamp 4 days ago

I wonder what the most user-friendly 1980s command-line interface was.

#Commodore 8-bit machines had some extremely gnarly syntax for doing anything involving disk drives.

#Unix was and remains infamous for extremely non-obvious command and option names.

#MSDOS at least had reasonable-ish command names like COPY and ERASE, but option names have the same problem as Unix.

Was there anything friendlier?
