Then why not sticking to unix command names? For example my most used command on linux is "ls", which in nixar is "fs" for some reason. Am I missing something?
I would try to get it to be as close to unix commands as possible, if you really hoping to achieve linux shell feel. And it would be really easy to jump from linux machine to it.
What would be nixar's selling point? Why would users choose it instead of cygwin or minGW?
- escherize 11y agoYou probably don't want that. It's a namespacing issue. If you call some new command ls and it has a different API that is a serious affordance issue.
- insanebits 11y agoThen how can you have "cat" and not "ls"?
- escherize 11y agoOh wow, rewriting cat.. that's definitely a mapping/affordance issue. I assumed cat was cat!
