    create symlinks in my $Path that point to gawk, gsed, and ggrep

    The problem with this is that scripts assume the BSD versions of those tools. The scripts break if I do that. (I tried doing that.) 😢

    The parts of the code base that can be built on both platforms is littered with:

    if os == linux
  awk <something>
else if os == mac
  awk <something else>

      Why not set an $awk var once for the right platform and then use that instead of if-on-every-call? This seems incredibly error prone and verbose for no reason…

      Edit: To be clear I’m aware that it isn’t about the binary, but surely most of the calls have some baseline commonality that could be abstracted? Or: Can the Linux awk be built on bsd or vice versa? Ok fine, if it was the simple, it would’ve probably been the solution…
