Why, it's a dinosaur? Have you tried nushell, murex, oil shell or xonsh?

- xenophonf 1y agoI don't know why you're being downvoted. You're correct, and as the other commenter mentioned, csh programming is evil in the eyes of the LORD. Starting last year, I've been maintaining a bash profile that implements (mostly) the same setup as my tcsh configuration. I suppose I ought to make the final leap into something more modern. It would be nice not to jump through hoops to redirect stderr somewhere different than stdout or [insert your favorite of the myriad examples of csh/tcsh weirdness here]! But I feel irrationally sad about it. I cut my teeth on Unix systems where csh was the default shell—namely, NeXTstep and sunOS 4—and it feels a little like saying the final goodbyes to a dead friend. Silly of me, I realize, but there it is.
