(author here) Funny thing is I also type out most of my shell into a script file. I generally don't create huge commands interactively. I elaborated on that here: https://lobste.rs/s/pcuppu/what_helps_people_get_comfortable_on#c_dqkbrs https://lobste.rs/s/pcuppu/what_helps_people_get_comfortable... Basically I want to be able to use all the power of Unix without remembering it all -- shell is a great tool for that. Someone made a LSP plugin for Oils awhile back, and I expect if enough people use it, those tools will continue to improve, and new ones will appear. They will be MUCH easier to produce for Oils than shell, because we have a principled code representation. (Some tools will be inside the project, and some outside, as usual) --- On the UI side, there are also people exploring shell GUIs via the "headless shell" -- something no other shell has -- but we can use more people to help. screenshots: https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2023/06/release-0.16.0.html#headless-shell-screenshots https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2023/06/release-0.16.0.html#he... i.e. Join #shell-gui on Zulip; don't assume it will get done without your input or effort ... as mentioned in this blog post, the biggest risk is that we don't have enough people helping!
