Shell Script Best Practices, from a decade of scripting things
Not sure what it is doing more...I'm referring to this rq: https://github.com/dflemstr/rq#format-support-status
It converts to/from the listed formats.
There is also `jc` (written in Python) with the added benefit that it converts output of many common unix utilities to json. So you would not need to parse `ip` for example.

What debugging/monitoring method do you use? Lately, I have been using the Saleae Logic Analyzer to monitor the signals exchanged among the boards of my embedded network. I find it really cool, but do you have any other recommendations? What do you use?
In robotics most relevant signals are seen by the software. My current pattern is to log everything to MessagePack files (e.g. using mpacklog in Python or palimpsest in C++), then dump and plot the data later on using handy command-line tools like jq and rq.

Miller CLI – Like Awk, sed, cut, join, and sort for CSV, TSV and JSON
There's also rq (record query)[1] that also supports CSV and JSON but not TSV though. It's written in Rust.

What's everyone working on this week (27/2021)?
Ish. https://github.com/dflemstr/rq/ It removed its processing language a while ago. It's still a very useful tool, though. Imho, it's a bigger pity that it can't highlight YAML on output, or parse YAML 1.1.

The Bun Shell
I agree. I’ve written about this before but this is what murex (1) does. It reimplements some of coreutils where there are benefits in doing so (eg sed, grep etc -like parsing of lists that are in formats other than flat lines of text. Such as JSON arrays)
Mutex does this by having these utilities named slightly different to their POSIX counterparts. So you can use all of the existing CLI tools completely but additionally have a bunch of new stuff too.
Far too many alt shells these days try to replace coreutils and that just creates friction in my opinion.

Jaq – A jq clone focused on correctness, speed, and simplicity
This is exactly what Murex shell does. It has lots of builtin tools for querying structured data (of varying formats) but also supports POSIX pipes for using existing tools like `jq` et al seamlessly too.

The Case for Nushell
Stable is a problem because a lot of these shells don’t offer any guarantees for breaking changes.
My own shell, https://github.com/lmorg/murex is committed to backwards compatibility but even here, there are occasional changes made that might break backwards compatibility. Though I do push back on such changes as much as possible, to the extent that most of my scripts from 5 years ago still run unmodified.

Nushell.sh ls – where size > 10mb – –sort-by modified
This is similar to how my shell works. It still just passes bytes around but additionally passes information about how those bytes could be interpreted. A schema if you will. So it works as cleanly with POSIX / GNU / et al tools as it does with fancy JSON, YAML, CSV and other document formats.
It basically sits somewhere between Powershell and Bash: typed pipelines like Powershell but without sacrificing familiarity with all the CLI commands you already use day in and day out.

As an aside, I’m about to drop a massive update in the next few days that will make the shell even more intuitive to use.
