- ryukafalz 6y agoDo I have good news for you :) http://fishshell.com/ http://fishshell.com/
- 0-_-0 6y agoWhy is it called fishshell and not shellfish?
- simlevesque 6y agoBecause... Bash Shell -> Fish Shell And if it was shellfish it would be a PITA to Google it.
- borski 6y agoYou ever think you might be sounding a little shellfish?
- zengargoyle 6y agoBecause it went Shell, then like C Shell, then like Korn Shell, then like Bourne Again Shell, and then there's like TCL shell. The 'sh' goes at the end. Shhhhhhhhh.
- 0-_-0 6y agoBut there is "sh" at the end of "shellfish"!
- zengargoyle 6y agoThat makes it Shell Friendly Interactive Shell which is redundant. Then there would be Shell Korn Shell, and Shell C shell. The 'sh' for Shell goes at the end as like a grammatical marker. It's postfix. Sh-FI-sh is awkward because it's prefix of the Shell -> 'sh' and also includes the 'sh' for Shell at the end making it a Shell X Shell sort of thing.
- 0-_-0 6y agoOK, I see the logic. How about "She Shell C Shells on the C Shore"?
- smoldesu 6y agothere's also an 'sh' at the end of 'fish', which is why that's the name of the shell.
- techlatest_net 6y agoBecause it is Friendly Interactive SHell
- BerislavLopac 6y agoI've always been surprised that nobody has built a small, secure shell named "nutshell"...
