You know it's a pun on conch shell, right? ;-)
- dguaraglia 8y agoWouldn't it make more sense if it was called "Ponsh" then? Heck, now that I think of it, "posh" would be a perfect name for a Python-powered shell.
- gricardo99 8y agoPerhaps “pysh”, although that has some negative connotations.
- jodrellblank 8y agoPowerShell went for "pwsh" instead of "posh" because posh is already a name of a shell - https://www.commandlinux.com/man-page/man1/posh.1.html https://www.commandlinux.com/man-page/man1/posh.1.html
- dguaraglia 8y agoDamn. Maybe go for "Posh Again" instead, in the bash tradition :)
- pen2l 8y agoThat makes it worse. Too many names are based on insider-jokes, too many of it just scares away noobies. posh, I agree, with the other poster, is a fabulous name for something like this
- itomato 8y agoIt doesn't even make sense, since "conch" is pronounced "konk".
