Nushell

“Nushell is nice, but lets not get carried away - it is decade away from pwsh”

“the closest Linuxy Powershell implementation with structured data”

“With some practice it was far reliable than weeding out errors from bash scripts.”

“A simple syntax, a cool display layout and in general a better customer experience.”

“I think something like nushell is probably a better direction than trying to use python/javascript as a shell.”

“it looks awesome. I wonder why the documentation is still that incomplete”

“Switched to Nushell and I am not looking back. Nushell is the first time I feel like I can write complex systems operations in a shell”

“The obvious solution would be to use something more sane, like PowerShell or nushell”

“with nushell I find I get to the fun intrinsic difficulty of a problem”

“But it might also be worth looking at shells which give you more power over structured data, like nushell.”

“Right now my favorite shell is Nushell, but still, it feels dated compare to what is possible on modern computers.”

“Nushell is a lot more than a simple shell script, it's a full programming language. Certainly no markup support builtin though.”

“Nushell is great because it is really "battery included" in the sense that it ships with most of what you will ever need”

“mishandles basics like it will eat errors and get into impossible code paths on control-C”

“being able to type ‘ls | sort-by modified -r | take 5’ feels liberating.”

“I really like it's general ideas though in terms operating on structured data.”

“nushell is more like a general scripting language — much more flexible.”

“These bugs have existed for so many years I've 100% given up on Nushell.”

“nushell will probably break everything that expects a normal bash/zsh/fish”

“At least Nushell doesn't pull a Python and just have "invisible space" be the end of the for-loop.”

“moving over my bash aliases and trying to visually parse the config file after 10 lines or so is making me go cross-eyed”

“It's the most beautiful combination of the ease of Python, strictness and ergonomics of Rust”

“You can't forget the semicolon if there isn't a semicolon to forget.”

“it's easy to string together multiple commands and have them work more reliably than shells that rely on plaintext”

“Each releases breaks something, usually, and it’s been like that for a few years”

“It is not just about scripting but the structure of input and output.”

“The speedup is wild, and along with it comes many nice quality of life features.”

“there are some weirdnesses in Nushell, but they are rare in my experience”

“It catches most typos before running the script, which is a godsend when the script is slow and/or has destructive operations.”

“I don't think Nushell brings much benefit for folks who already know Bash”

“it just feels like I'm learning a new programming language for no good reason”

“It lets me one-liner so many things that would have previously taken breaking out a "real" language to do”

“Nushell pukes on it, errors out, and doesn't even show the output of the command”

“As someone who develops on and for windows computers, nushell is a real breath of fresh air.”

“Benefits of native shell processing, and jq like syntax over SQL.”

“Certainly using nushell means anything beyond the true basics seems to be beyond most LLMs.”

“nushells out of the box functionality far out stripes powershells”

“What is one really getting out of nushell / ion / whatever new tweaked out shell comes out next week?”

“You don't need to memorize bad tools' quirks. You can just use good tools.”

“nushell and fish, which have nicer syntax but I've had compatibility issues in the past”
