Is fish still considered alternative? The completions and suggestions still make it my go to. Thankfully it’s also started to bring its syntax inline with bash

Is fish still considered alternative? The completions and suggestions still make it my go to. Thankfully it’s also started to bring its syntax inline with bash (e.g., by accepting `&&` in addition to `and;`)
- mst 5y agoI think that may be the paradox here. If it gets a significant userbase, it's much less clearly "alternative" anymore.
- ilaksh 5y agoI have also been using fish for years. But seeing how nice the scripting is that is built into Dune makes me want Dune features in fish. Or for Dune to get the autocomplete that fish has.
- yewenjie 5y agoI use fish and enjoy it, really cannot go back to zsh - feels too bloated. However, fish is not radically different from bash/ POSIX shell the way, lets say babashka [0] is. [0] https://github.com/babashka/babashka https://github.com/babashka/babashka
- HKH2 5y ago> Babashka is a tool you can use inside existing shells like bash and it is designed to play well with them. It does not aim to replace them.
