A shell scripting language should also have a sort of convenience that allows the user to easily navigate and manipulate the OS via repl commands. Javascript while definetely a more powerful scripting language lacks the power of a repl OS command prompt.
Bash at the very least has the property of being good as a UI, even though it is clearly a horrible scripting language.
So nushell in this sense unionizes the best aspects of both worlds. Powerful UI, powerful scripting.
