According to Chris Taylor on 11/28/2005 6:30 AM:
The reason I mentioned it is that I'm told that the `` syntax is deprecated (and has been for some time), at least in scripts, ergo it makes sense to be moving to the newer one.. You're right though, it is a lot easier to read and nest, and vastly easier to read it when nested..
Nope - POSIX has not deprecated ``. See http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_06_03. And portable scripts, per the rules in the autoconf documentation, MUST use `` instead of $(). Based on the body of existing scripts that use ``, I doubt that POSIX will ever deprecate ``.
Spinning complacently in the darkness, covered and blinded by a blanket of little lives, false security has lulled the madness of this world into a slumber. Wake up! An eye is upon you, staring straight down and keenly through, seeing all that you are and everything that you will never be. Yes, an eye is upon you, an eye ready to blink. So face forward, with arms wide open and mind reeling. Your future has arrived... Are you ready to go?
