    You usually should go with the symlinks for a normal usage. There’re marginal use cases where you mount a folder, like modifying permissions, attributes, with not straight to learn tools like bindfs.

    You mount a filesystem (container), whereas a folder is something contained in a filesystem (IOW, not a filesystem)

    If you want/like/enjoy something, do it, don’t listen to others. It’s also OK to learn something but never use it, either for the joy of learning or learning new things and new ways of looking at things.

    Perl was my first favorite programming language, I really liked it. my brain could connect with it easily(same thing wasn’t true for other PLs). It even helped me understand other programming languages better.

    Pretty much this ^ Besides that, I still miss Perl, I loved it!

    My current favorite language is Raku.

    I was once also looking while Perl6 was evolving, and somehow liked it, but there was something keeping me out. There were no plans to allow me to use Perl6 the same way I (and everyone) uses Perl5: $ binaryinterpreter script.pl

    You’re young. Young enough to have to google my username meaning. Maybe also google what GIF means: Graphics Interchange Format. Long tima go you could find images on the internet, and they were always GIF, because JPG didn’t exist.

    But yes, it’s quite strange nowadays, I agree <grin> Oh, yes, I used the net before smileys were a thing :-)
