          Fascinating. The wikipedia page is for shebang so clearly you are right.

          But the wikipedia page also cites it being called hashbang – citing mostly o’reilly books.

          Now I’m intrigued, not that I have a lot of reason to talk about shell scripts, but I had never heard it called any other way.

          TIL, thanks!

            In college we were taught “hash exclamation, aka hash bang or shebang for short”.
