Yes, the syntax is the same. It also support various GNU and BSD extensions.

GNU bc is unmaintained for years. The latest version is from 2017. It don’t have a repo or a mailing list.

bc-gh started in 2018 and it is still actively developed. It is adopted by many projects I’ve listed in my post.

perhaps they don’t care about bc. I think they don’t even notice that GNU bc haven’t been updated since 2017.

I will change it to “licensing reason”. Thank you

But the software you listed are used by many peoples. bc-gh is robust and performant, GNU bc is not actively developed, and benchmark shows that it is clearly slower than bc-gh in most case. But in most distros bc-gh is not available.

But there are technical reason too. IIRC, gcc > 4.3 drop support for some architecture?

The Linux world have bad things, especially in userland and libc

op-ti-mize [verb (trans.)]* … (gcc) to modify executable code so that it fails more quickly.

Wow. Hope that they will do better than kspp

~/bin is the real directory for UNIX.

Compile it, install it to your ~/bin.

Ahaha! It is already bad!

Wow. Understanding GNU’s man page?

BSD developers: who cares about that.

OpenBSD is the easiest to use.

supporting wine is a shame.

Why don’t more distro use LibreSSL? Why don’t more distro use mandoc? Why don’t more distro use clang?

Send diff to their lists.

The main argument is, the number of Debian’s Apparmor policies is not comparable to RHEL’s SELinux policies.
