Nushell: Introduction to a new kind of shell
I just ported a bunch of scripts to nushell.<p>I hit some bugs, a couple of which are a bit sharp, but wow, the list of quirks I have to remember for nutshell are so much fewer than for bash.<p>Constantly impressed at the errors it catches at parse time, kinda crazy sometimes.<p>Oh my god I could cry, strings are sane to work with. I may never write a bash script again (it&#x27;s okay, I use Nix so I get nushell everywhere I&#x27;m might need it, for free)<p>Everyone is asking about PowerShell. I never <i>hated</i> it, but lord it makes some awful, stupid infuriating decisions. I&#x27;ve lost hair and sanity to some stupid list&#x2F;single-item-list beahvior. Numerous operators and bits of syntax are just different. Everything about the script syntax is just slight odd and confusing. There&#x27;s basically none of this with nushell. Jonathan Turner is a gifted person with an eye for language design and it really shows.<p>Edit: I do think it&#x27;s missing some important output redirection functionality. You can workaround by using &quot;complete&quot; but that feels non-ideal.
