Existing alternative is obviously PowerShell. With 10+ years in production its obvious choice in Windows and it gets better every day on Unix like systems.
All those alternatives that use some mainstream language not designed originally as a shell language (xonsh [python], rash [ruby], this [python], rhino [javascript], whatever) so far didn't hold water - the shell is not an afterthought, it needs upfront design and its own language.
- Gaelan 10y agogot a link for rash?
- majkinetor 10y agohttps://github.com/adamwiggins/rush https://github.com/adamwiggins/rush Its rush, a typo. I do not recommend it for serious usage, its more or less failed PoC. On the other hand, its basically the same as ergonomica, and I would prefer ruby to python when shell is in question, given that white space thingie. It looks like there was a recent activity maintainer tho, see a PR, but its abandoned again: https://github.com/adamwiggins/rush/pull/19 https://github.com/adamwiggins/rush/pull/19
