New Features in the Fish Shell
To preface — I love Fish — "Finally, a command line shell for the 90s" is an apt description. I use it every day.<p>But I haven't managed to recommend it to beginners. There are so many bash instructions out there, and translating between bash and fish isn't easy for a beginner.<p>That's a great shame and missed opportunity, because beginners would in particular value a nice shell. The shell is often one of the harder tools to learn — e.g. I find beginners are more comfortable in a Jupyter Notebook than they are the shell.<p>I'm not sure whether there's a way of combining fish's ease of use with a notion of compatibility — maybe a "bash mode" for beginners, which accepts bash commands? Or error messages which return translated commands?<p>(I recognize not all commands can be translated, but all of those that would be run by a beginner can be)
