What are the main reasons, if any, for users to prefer Osh to Bash today, even if they don't intend to use or learn Oil for the foreseeable future?

- chubot 5y agoThis page needs an update but covers that to an extent: https://www.oilshell.org/why.html https://www.oilshell.org/why.html It's mostly useful as a dev tool right now. I would also note that probably 90% of bash users don't do any bash programming. As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, Oil is very much focused on the programming part. It has a better foundation for an interactive shell than bash, but somebody else needs to push on that part via the "headless shell".
