Command substitution not a pain in the A$($())

Command substitution and nesting without using backticks.

Command substitution with backticks:
youtu.be/VOOeXV4HYSA

Command substitution with nested backticks:
youtu.be/T6C8sPB3pek

In this tutorial I cover an alternative way to achieve command substitution that doesn't involve backticks.

Using $() instead of backticks should work in all modern shells.
