Ask HN: Show me your half baked project
Next Generation Shell. As a shell, it's a programming language and a UI. Half baked: programming language - pretty much done, we use it at work; UI - just starting to work on.
Ananlysis of what's wrong with current shells' UIs and how to fix it - https://blog.ngs-lang.org/2023/09/30/ui-in-ngs/
Project - https://github.com/ngs-lang/ngs
Any help would be appreciated of course :)

I'm trying to switch from Python to Lua so I can get into game development... where do I start?
There are number of new ones coming out ...and I'm curious of https://github.com/ngs-lang/ngs. As a language nerd, have you seen that?

Telegraph and the Unix Shell
I bookmarked https://github.com/ngs-lang/ngs some time ago.
Oh interesting... author of that article developed https://ngs-lang.org/.
Thanks, took a note - https://github.com/ngs-lang/ngs/issues/621

Ask HN: What projects are you working on this weekend?
This weekend, like any other time when it's possible, I'm continuing to work on Next Generation Shell. It is a fully-fledged programming language for the DevOps-y niche (the one which was once dominated by Perl). The language contains domain specific facilities such as convenient running of external programs and data manipulation.

Xonsh: Python-powered, cross-platform, Unix-gazing shell
Take a look at https://github.com/xonsh/xonsh/issues before deciding to abandon the devil you know.
I prefer sticking with bash where necessary (where a script is the only thing that will reasonably work), and elsewhere using a programming language with testing, type checking, modularity, and compilation into something with zero or minimal runtime dependencies.
You need to downgrade ptk version. Look here - https://github.com/xonsh/xonsh/issues/5241#issuecomment-1961...

Google ZX – A tool for writing better scripts
Friends, I'm not saying that tools like zx are not good. I do like to write some scripts using js/ts. I believe pythoners prefer https://xon.sh/ . Perl is also attractive and interesting. Fish is friendly.
However, I still believe that posix-shell has its own advantages. The balance among size, code length, and expressiveness. I think the only possible competitors are tcl and perl, maybe lua.

Shh: Simple Shell Scripting from Haskell
Those of you who use (or used) this as your shell: care to share your experience?
It seems a lot less full-featured than https://xon.sh/, but maybe you don't need a lot of bells and whistles for regular usage. I mostly run build, execute, and install commands.
I'm somewhat enticed at the possibility of being able to wrap common executables into forms that are typed (like nushell or elvish) and manipulate them in a way that leverages the type checker.

Marcel the Shell
In that case, is it even more similar to xonsh?
> Marcel pipes python values in streams
That's indeed much better, all those untyped strings in shells in a bad old design
Though hopefully xonsh will implement this as well https://github.com/xonsh/xonsh/issues/3967
- Shshsh is a bridge connects Python and shell
What are some alternatives?
nushell - A new type of shell
fish-shell - The user-friendly command line shell.
ipython - Official repository for IPython itself. Other repos in the IPython organization contain things like the website, documentation builds, etc.
oh-my-bash - A delightful community-driven framework for managing your bash configuration, and an auto-update tool so that makes it easy to keep up with the latest updates from the community.
PowerShell - PowerShell for every system!
zx - A tool for writing better scripts
oil - Oils is our upgrade path from bash to a better language and runtime. It's also for Python and JavaScript users who avoid shell!
zsh-vi-mode - 💻 A better and friendly vi(vim) mode plugin for ZSH.
elvish - Powerful scripting language & Versatile interactive shell
fx - Terminal JSON viewer & processor
