bash 4 introduced associative arrays (aka dictionaries or hashmaps). Which, while you can do without, is a nice feature that makes some things easier.

Python has the additional problem of being highly dynamic, though! In C++'s case, the transformation tool has much more information, so more things are possible to do. E.g. let's take the ".erase" case from the article.

cmder and conemu are terminals. They run shells, like bash or zsh, but also fish. I've not used it myself, but I know that fish is available in WSL and cygwin (though this release had some issues there).

It is! But calling it "getting closer to production readiness" feels a tad insulting. It's probably just a bit of snark, so it's not worth getting up in arms about, but it's not really friendly phrasing.

`fish --version` starts a new fish that prints _its_ version. You were still running the old version, and `echo $version` would have told you.

There are a few misfeatures in `test`, though. For instance, one way to use it is test somestring to test if "somestring" is empty. POSIX mandates that test with exactly one argument succeeds iff that argument is a non-emp

Fish uses (and still supports) `command1; and command2` instead of `command1 && command2` (and similarly for `||`/`or` and `!`/`not`). The syntax is different, the semantics are the same.

Not really from a usage perspective though, and resources often don't matter. If you're doing something like this in the background, then that usually means it takes a "long" time (or you'd just wait for it). So the

It's a python script, using python's http.server. If you're not executing `fish_config` explicitly, nothing is running.

That's included, just the `~2` shortcut thing isn't.

by faho 8y ago
Fish does not include tons of syntactic shortcuts. We try to keep the syntax fairly free of opaque symbols. You can use `prevd` and `nextd`, or you can use key bindings, like the default alt-left and alt-right bindings.

What this does is two things: - It keeps the state separate from the main shell, including $PWD (so the `cd` doesn't affect the main execution "thread") - It executes some script in the background Fish's backgrounding is

It's not. Not to that degree. Unix frequently espouses "do one thing", but how much "one thing" is is always open to interpretation. And it's never been quite as small as e.g. left-pad. It's more something
