String interpolation and regex are great on it, easy to use OO principles as well as functional principals, etc. Definitely going to be writing wrappers over some of my favorite unix commands with this!</text></comment>

I&amp;#x27;ve been using the similar &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;toy&amp;#x2F;progress&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;toy&amp;#x2F;progress&lt;/a&gt; for a long time and it&amp;#x27;s super useful.&lt;p&gt;One thing I prefer about progress is that the default config includes an ETA, which is generally the thing I care most about. It&amp;#x27;s interface is also a little nicer. It&amp;#x27;s really nice to have an estimate on when a script might complete, so I know if I have to optimize it or if I can just leave it running for a while.</text></comment>
