I don't really mind having a non-POSIX shell since it doesn't prevent bash scripts from working, but I get that if you want portability bash is still best since it'll work mostly anywhere.

Yeah if you need to work on machines with bash it makes sense to stick with it. Sorry you have to work on Windows... how is powershell compared to bash?

I don't know python but xonsh seems really cool, especially since like nushell it works on both linux and windows so you don't have to bother about OS specific syntax

That's interesting I hadn't thought about the JSON angle! Do you mean that you can actually use jq on regular command outputs like ls -l?

Oil is an interesting project and the backward compatibility with bash is very neat! I don't see myself using it though, since it's syntax is very close to bash on purpose I'd probably get oil syntax and bash syntax all mixed up in my head and forget which is which... So I went with nushell because it doesn't look anything like bash. If you know python what do you think about xonsh? I

I've also been using zsh until now, it's clear it's a massive improvement over bash. No more accidentally pasting code into the terminal!

I wasn't even looking for a new interactive shell, zsh is fine, I was looking for a new language for shell scripts because I'm tired of bash's legacy quirks... but the interactive nushell was too cool to resist!

Nah I don't miss having to deal with region zones, they are such a pain... sure you can rip the disk, but you're still left with a disk you bought yet can't use because your players are deliberately sabotaged to not work.

I don't miss using physical media either, they take up so much space... I'd need a mansion if I wanted to replace the content of my media server with physical media.

I guess that depends on your definition of what a bird is and on where you place the transition between bird-like dinosaurs and birds. Like Archaeopteryx is one of the species in that weird kinda dinosaur kinda bird phase.

Edit: Genus not species, sorry. I hate taxonomy so much...
