It’s lean
The $55 computer I purchased 2 weeks ago can run X11 in 4K. Micro-optimizing shell performance doesn't make that much sense these days.
It’s embraced by the OpenBSD folks
This can be both a blessing and a curse. I've used OpenBSD before and I respect the system but personally I find the community borderline weird.
It has arrays (hell ya)
1-based ones at that. Why the heck would a "C like shell" not have arrays that start at 0?
Scripts can start with the ‘#’ character only
On what systems?
‘cshrc’ configuration files read somewhat beautifully
I read and edit shell config files maybe once every 3 years when I set up a new system (and I really should have them in version control, I know)
