For me, I think bach it very much bloated. I would definitely agree that
mksh or dash is a lot better. Well about rc, I wouldn't recommend that
since it's a total different syntax compared to POSIX shell, although
posix shell definitely have some weaknesses, it's still more portable.
And about make, I would recommend make, I didn't check the source code
for both make and mk but I did some benchmark back then, make is still
the fastest build system that I have tested and it have a clean but
weird syntax. But just beware of autotools and autoconf.
