I struggle to imagine making use of it however. My normal flow just doesn't seem to need that power. I think I would benefit most from simplicity. Although, I could definitely see this benefiting from things being predictable, guessable, etc. Ie, when I rarely need more advanced features I'm less likely to need to look up documentation to figure out how to do something - as I often do.
- cormacrelf 7y agoIts line-editing and basic shell experience is not quite childproof yet (e.g. it can't parse tildes but only in Tmux), but I think it gets the balance right between being able to bash out a long pipeline quickly and having it work as you intended it. I have greatly enjoyed writing PowerShell in an IDE/VSCode, but not as a shell, but NuShell seems to capture the best bits in the line editor. I am most excited about the error reporting where it tells you about missing fields etc.
