The idea of JSON output is brought up regularly. Very interesting project that helps with that is https://wiki.freebsd.org/LibXo Meanwhile, there is jc so that jc df returns JSON. See https://github.com/kell

This weekend, like any other time when it's possible, I'm continuing to work on Next Generation Shell. It is a fully-fledged programming language for the DevOps-y niche (the one which was once dominated by Perl). The language cont

In Next Generation Shell (author here), it is not as ergonomic (yet?) but on the other hand it's a fully fledged no-nonsense programming language... and I claim quite a readable. good_data = fetch("openlibrary.json").docs.fil

.. or you can try Next Generation Shell (author here): fetch("cars.json").filter({"color": "red"}) # or echo(fetch("cars.json").filter({"color": "red"}))

Hi. Author of Next Generation Shell. I share the line of thought with Hush. But then we have arrived at different solutions. Small comparison here - https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages/comments/ubwiz

Thank you! I was thinking to add some code snippets on the website. Other projects do that and I think it gives you the "feel" pretty quickly.

It is now the niche of Next Generation Shell. Totally not humble and biased opinion... maybe. I'm the author. You are very welcome to make your own judgement - https://ngs-lang.org/

Thank you! For scripting, it is significantly better than bash (at least for most of the cases that I have). The interactive part is not implemented yet but it is planned to be quite different from the dominant decades old approach. The pla

Nice... but how you fix the way something fundamental as the way `if` works in bash? Each `if` is a bomb. `if grep -q ...;then ...;else ...;fi`. Two branches for three possible exit codes. Given a long script and big amount of output, you w

Depending on your exact needs, you might also want to try Next Generation Shell. It's a fully featured programming language for the DevOps-y stuff with convenient "print JSON" switch so "ngs -pj YOUR_EXPR" evaluates

Yep. In Next Generation Shell for example. At the time that the language was created, around 2013, it was clear to me (author of the language) that ordered traversal is beneficial and outweighs the downsides (memory usage).

Interesting to see how nobody cares about exit code 2. Modify your grep command to have syntax error and you will always think you have all the translations. Edit: ah.. forgot the whole point.. In Next Generation Shell (author here) this do

Hi. Author of Next Generation Shell here. Totally agree. Also UI of the shell is stuck and ignores pretty much everything that happened in last decades. Here is my plan for the UI: https://github.com/ngs-lang/ngs/w
