If you like Powershell but have some complaints, you might find nushell to be the best of both worlds. My elevator pitch for it would be imagine the object-oriented / typed nature of Powershell, minus the verbosity and windows-centric design of it. As someone who develops on and for windows computers, nushell is a real breath of fresh air.
- naikrovek 9mo agoI have a command line program at work which outputs json. Pure JSON in all situations. I thought nushell would be able to make sense of that and display it semi-nicely. Nushell pukes on it, errors out, and doesn’t even show the output of the command. As far as sins go for a shell, not showing the output of the program it just ran is very high among them. nushell had its chance with me.
- jknutson 9mo agoWith external commands you might have to collect the output of the program before doing any sort of manipulation. I’ve been got by this before too; the fix is simple (for me at least). `external.exe | collect | from json` et voila
- orthoxerox 9mo agoThis doesn't look like a pit of success design.
- jknutson 9mo agoWell, every shell has its quirks and gotchas. I’ve found nushell’s to be the least intrusive and most workable thus far.
- fainpul 9mo agoWhenever someone recommends nushell, I feel like I have to point out that its table output (a core feature) is broken: https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/13601 https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/13601 https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/16379 https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/16379
