Why should I care wether my shell is POSIX compliant?
If we're detaching from POSIX, why not get more wild? Why not xonsh or something? Also I found this lua inspired shell which could be cool: https://github.com/hush-shell/hush

Working with JSON in traditional and next-gen shells like Elvish, NGS, Nushell, Oil, PowerShell and even old-school Bash and Windows Command Prompt
Maybe hush (https://github.com/hush-shell/hush) should be included in this list.

Guide: Hush Shell-Scripting Language
While being extremely small is a worthy goal, I suppose the aim of Hush is to make writing larger shell scripts easier and less error-prone. It's more for the niche of Perl of old than of minimal shells like ash.
For a very limited device, a very limited shell like that in Busybox is sufficient, because it likely does not need large shell scripts, or a lot of interactive work.
Looking at [1], current Hush is under 700k, which is still way smaller than Python or Perl, with much of its expressiveness.

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.
