fish is a fine baseline but I want better shell scripting (murex, xonsh) and manipulation abilities (nushell). For the software world, shells are evolving unusually slowly.
- michael_michael 2y agoI think that's why Fish's tagline is "Finally, a command line shell for the 90s".
- corytheboyd 2y ago> For the software world, shells are evolving unusually slowly. Do they need to change much? I strongly think that they do not.
- BeetleB 2y agoBack in ye old days, TAB autocompletion was a big deal when it was new. It was then a big deal when it got a bit fancier in zsh. And it's stagnated since. Now, with fzf in combination with other tools, I often ask myself: Why isn't this the default in most shells? When I now use bash, it seems very archaic. Yes, there are a lot of improvements one can do with shells. I should start making a wishlist.
- hnlmorg 2y agoHave you tried any alternative shells? Bash and Zsh might be moving slowly but the non-POSIX shells are light years ahead of even Zsh.
- wongogue 2y agoNushell looks very promising. I am waiting for it to mature and be available in distro repositories.
