This might be the shell of the future
Because it aims to bring a cross-platform standard
While packing a more powerful programming language

Only "issue" is that it replaces some famous utils like find
But you can just run them with a "^" like "^find args"
Also look at those nice error messages

Why do I need 7 lines of error messages to tell me I used an invalid type in find?
I bet this runs glacially slow compared to even fzf or even test -f

don't care
Zachary Wright
Because errors don't happen very often and when they do they better be helpful
Cameron Gutierrez

the jokes write themselves
do zoomers really need arrows and colours to use a shell command?
Elijah Richardson
Yes and it's kinda nice
Blake Torres
>Because errors don't happen very often
have you even used a shell for more than doing "cd; cd ..; ls; cd; ls; cd .."?

>a cross-platform
powershell is cross-platform as well and gives access to a superior environment
Dylan Jones
What do you do that you're hitting errors so often?
nushell is inspired by powershell as well
Andrew Bell
I like Rust's helpful error messages, but this seems kinda excessive.

If it's a UNIX-compliant shell, it works on every platform that matters and some that don't. Install Gentoo.
Charles Gonzalez
This is how you'd write into a file and open the file, in all platforms
Would work on windows or linux

You don't have to on Windows 7 ;3
Asher Baker
In bash this is just
echo "intall gentoo" > test.txt

Can it do that for arbitrary third party programs? Oh, it can't. They're pretty, but to get useful scale-out in a shell, you basically need to provide the capabilities to do that style of error as a library so that it can be used by code you don't control. And that means it will be used without your shell present (unless you do weird lock-in shit, but nobody wants that).
This is the sort of idea that needs to be set free to truly flower. That's how life goes sometimes.
Grayson Lee
jeez that looks ugly
Asher Lopez
The nice part is what the built-in commands can do
You can pipe them to get the exact data you want
And the pipe syntax is recycled for all commands
So you only have to learn a few things
Ayden Cox
Yeah, and not just that but it looks like faggotry
Daniel Martinez
Literally nothing wrong with a verbose error message
