Woohoo, PowerShell has finally been ported to Linux!
Now seriously: a strongly-typed shell is a thing that should've happened long ago

[spectre.garden]

The great thing about linux is that you can leverage specific shells for their features. It isnt necessary to switch shells entirely.

I'm not a programmer and I love using Linux. And I never really want to have to learn how to use Awk lol for that simple information right now I would just use b-top and then filter by CPU usage. But when he wrote the command on nushell it's just like reading English. I instantly knew what it was doing. That's pretty crazy. Much more elegant and clean. I really want to give this shell a try

[prof.anthoniraj]

Excellent and useful information. I am the linux user and have been using BASH for long. I will definitely try this nushell!

Oh snap, you used my logo design! Nice! ;)
Love Nushell. Thanks to it, I live in my shell now, and reach for it before any other scripting languages.

I usually use bash (probably actually dash IIRC) and like Powershell, but this certainly does look looks like it has some nice improvements when it comes to error messages and general introspection.

[NStripleseven]

Damn that error system is good. Like Rust for commmands.

[flowingcode]

Not sure about bash or zsh. Definitely better than powershell.

[SamuelKarani]

Typescript & javascript objects for the shell lol. But seriously great stuff

[jabuci]

I'll try it again when 1.0 comes out. I tried it about two years ago and my config file broke with every new release. I got fed up and went back to zsh.

[Semmelein]

I don't like PowerShell so maybe I just give this a try.

[NStripleseven]

Question: why aren’t function arguments typed? Everything else seems to operate with that in mind, so how can the system even handle a value of unknown type?

[ownerAccount]

I wonder why it is so hard to install it on apt (ubuntu/debian like) systems. I don't use brew. I would like to use apt or ppa and be done with that. I bet this slows down adoption considerably ...

[sharaths]

I don't like the idea of switching shells when ever new shells with fancy feature get released.

[cybernit]

Looks nice, but concerned it is bloated, must take more ram than bash or zsh.

[diroussel]

I tried it, but the input lag from the readine library they use made typing really annoying on Mac. I wanted to like as it’s a great concept.

[faust]

So a shell written in rust that mimics powershell. I mean I don't want to sound like an elitist jerk, but zsh is written in C (34 years ago) has a ton of plugins, and the features u provide are usefully for "newbies". But hey we are getting a shit tone of windows folks maybe they will use it. I'm sorry to slander ur work maybe I'm just dumb but I will call it bloat and that's the last of it.

[kelseystickney]

Why does it need to have “every color under the rainbow”? I don’t need my shell looking like a bag of skittles after every command.
