I saw a video on your youtube channel about AutoExec I was impressed to see how convenient this can be, it's a smart tool and could be used in many occasion.
As I am not confortable enough with bash and certainly not a skilled developer but just a casual tinker I am wondering if this tool could get some feature to be used also with C language as I am trying to learn C and I saw you did videos on it recently, it could be a new challenge for you! yeah yeah I know I poorly sold the idea ^_^

I also wanted to say thank you for the job already done, it's nice to see a youtube channel like yours even if don't understand everything, the content is quite unique I mean programming with bash is not something Linux youtubers usually talk about.

PS:
if I might say something about your videos you should explain more precisely what the purpose of what you demonstrate is, because sometimes it's not clear at least to me.

Sorry for the rambling mate, it's just love.
Well done and keep it up.

Hello! Thanks for for the post and the kind words. :)

AE used to actually have experimental C-support; I must admit, I found myself missing it, when I was recently messing around in C. I may add it back at some point, but it would continue to only be experimental.

you should explain more precisely what the purpose of what you demonstrate is

I'm surprised you say that, because I usually go into inordinate amounts of detail explaining what things are and why I do them. Was there a particular time I did a poor job of it? Some examples might help me improve, unless of course it's a "you problem". ;)

The TFL channel is not targetting people brand new to shell programming or Linux; it typically assumes the user currently has a basic understanding. There are more than enough "Hello Word!" videos all over YouTube, so I wanted to provide more intermediate-to-advanced videos for people looking to get their hands dirty. I've attempted to make newbie-friendly videos in the past, but it's like watching paint dry, without the fun part of getting high off the fumes. Lol

Even with the flag experimental it will be useful, it's a good news thank you :)

Well I guess what I wanted to say was that you should tell in the beginning of a video "what can you do with what I present to you, When and why you should use this like that". I didn't want to say that you don't give enough detailed explanation on "how it works", I don't know but sometimes it feels like I totally miss the big picture, but may be it's just me ^ ^
