Welcome

This is the wiki for triplescripts.org — committed to software tools for the out-crowd.

Applications

What triple scripts are well-suited for:

• portable, no-fuss build scripts
• auditable, offline software security fobs
• file format decompressors, explorers, manipulators, etc
• ... and other utilities that perform limited file IO; particularly suited for many file inputs, zero or one file outputs

What triple scripts are not suited for:

• networked applications

Triple scripts are for everyone, but not for all things. (See other mantras.)
