Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Generating graphs from the marcel command line
Marcel is one of the pipe-objects-instead-of-strings shells (https://marceltheshell.org).
Here's a blog post showing how to use marcel to generate graphs directly from the command line.

Xonsh: Python-powered, cross-platform, Unix-gazing shell
Check out marcel (https://marceltheshell.org). It's yet another pipe-objects-instead-of-strings shell (like nushell). Unlike nushell, you pipe Python values. Marcel has no sublanguages (like awk, sed, ...). Instead, when logic is needed, you write Python code, delimited by parens. So:

Marcel the Shell
It is a useful correction. This project predates the release of the movie: https://github.com/geophile/marcel/commit/bb6adacbb6b3a683ce...

Object SHell
Check out marcel: https://marceltheshell.org, and https://github.com/geophile/marcel. Both marcel and nushell start with the idea of piping structured data instead of strings, which is incredibly powerful. (This also applies to osh. I am the author of osh and marcel.)
Marcel (and osh) rely on Python types and language where typical shells have sublanguages. So instead of awk or find and their sublanguages, you just use Python. Instead of piping strings, you pipe streams of Python values.
Marcel lets you use Python on the commmand line. It also has an API which allows you to use shell-like commands inside of Python programs.

Shshsh is a bridge connects Python and shell
I wrote a shell, marcel, that pipes Python values instead of strings: https://marceltheshell.org.
It also does the inverse, allowing you to run marcel commands from Python, e.g. https://www.marceltheshell.org/scripting-1

The Case for Nushell
Check out my entry, marcel: https://marceltheshell.org.
E.g., find the newest vlc instance and kill it (a command that an acquaintance needs frequently, for some reason):
ps | select (p: p.name == 'vlc') | sort (p: p.create_time) | tail 1 | (p: p.signal(9))

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.
