    Both provide scripting languages that are more "functional" (in the sense of functional programming). nushell is newer, written in Rust, under active development, and seems to be stabilizing. es is older (circa 1990s), written in C, and based on rc and scheme. There's also a C++ version xs that appears abandoned as well as a few forks sprinkled around. None are POSIX-compatible.

    I'd rather have a more powerful shell that uses a functional style yet preserves many shell semantics we're all familiar with (like XS, https://github.com/TieDyedDevil/XS , except maintained!) than an easier-to-use shell

    3. If you want to import your handy one-liners from your existing `.bash_history`, you could try using babelfish to automatically translate them, then import them into your Fish history: https://github.com/bouk/babelfish

    It may not work right for some of them, but it's worked on the scripts I've tried. You might also be able to bind a key that translates whatever command there is on the prompt into Fish.
