As someone who programs for a few years, I really dig their scripting language. I am a huge fan of small scripts but always found bash scripting scary as it is quite unique. Googling a specific thing and seeing some awk solution is just scary for me (like regex was before I understood it). That's not bad but I prefer having easily maintainable code for a small script.
Nu's principles and influence from modern languages makes it easier for me. But be careful about it not having a 1.0 release. Often times things can break, but their docs always point out breaking changes.

- allarm 3y agoBash is not simple. It’s unforgiving in many unique ways. And it’s difficult to master, unless you code in it every day, which is not a norm for most of us. And if you didn’t master it it’s dangerous, because it’s unforgiving. So it goes.
