https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/z0h4r5/nushell_is_amazing/I've heard about it here and there, thought it sounded interesting. Whatever, some people reinventing the wheel, we've seen that before. Bash and other posix shells are so ubiquitous though, it'll never catch on. But HOLY COW then I actually read the documentation and started writing some stuff. OMG it's so good you guys! Highlights for me include: - Super easy to write scripts that have great help pages like a well crafted CLI tool. (Just put comments next to your arguments) - It leans into the pipelining we know and love, but even more ergonomic, versatile, useful and enjoyable. Feels a bit like writing in a functional language. - Actual data types, no more unnecessary clumsy string manipulation in your scripts. - AMAZING error messages, think elm and rustc. - just recipes can be written in nushell! - Supports starship prompt. Nice. But I've saved the best for last. Structured data. Lists, records and tables. Sounds cool, but how useful are they if the outside world communicates in strings? Very, it
