I’m saying in the sense of “time I put in to value I get out”, I’ve put quite a lot of time into bash, but even though I’ve done certain actions many times, I remember few.
I recently picked up Swift and it was a dream. Never used it in nearly the same degree, but I was highly productive quickly.
The thing is: I don’t think it’s a bad paradigm (everything a stream of text), it’s just the “IDE” sucks completely. If there was inline autocomplete, peek-ahead results, a “verbose mode” where the options are all more like typed full-English objects, instant fuzzy search of actions, multi line with an easy way to edit, etc, it would probably be fantastic and I’d be a 100x shell developer. It would also basically feel like an IDE at that point for a normal programming language!
