No, I mean creating some kind of quick program from the prompt itself.
Like for instance bulk renaming of files from the prompt, there is no way I could do that quickly in fish's language and having to switch to bash to do that would be unnecessarily slow. Might as well stick to bash.
What I mean to say is that fish would hurt my productivity rather than boost it.
- em-bee 3y agolearning any new tool takes a bit of time. but i believe you are overestimating the effort it takes to learn fish syntax. it is not that hard. you also need to consider the features in fish that boost your productivity that don't need to be learned at all. just give it a try.
- RulerOf 3y agoThis is the reason I was amenable to making the jump to zsh. With the customizations I have in my shell, my bash startup times were creeping into the multi-second territory, but I got a better UX and faster shell startup without having to learn new syntax for simple shell loops.
