Why should I care wether my shell is POSIX compliant?
I've been using nushell as my daily driver shell for a while. It's still very much in development, but it's got some nice features, like Windows cross compatibility, proper data types, and syntax highlighting

FUSTA: quickly & easily edit, slice, 'n dice ((very) large) FASTA files
Now, I guess the deeper question is ‶is the text-based, line-delimited, pipe-oriented, interaction model between programs that don't know each other still relevant″; and we have seen new, more structured, approaches being tested, for instance with PowerShell or NuShell.

What’s everyone working on this week (1/2023)?
I'll add the long awaited support for nushell in broot.

Telegraph and the Unix Shell
But that and xplr are both programs used within the shell and don't address that the shell is still outputting plain-dumb-dataless-text. https://www.nushell.sh/ promotes right on the homepage Everything is data so it's exciting to see and hope for a better future!

Rust-shell: what features you would you like to see in a shell ?
I don't understand what you mean by Graphics integration or graphical frontend. Do you have an example? Instead of du - I recommend dust. The data features - are basically the features of nushell, are you using it? Regarding the variables - excellent idea, I will implement this. What do you mean by menu creation? What syntax would you use for "skip next line"?

GNU nano is my editor of choice (2021)
> Different components can integrate and coordinate through standards.
We've tried that and for the most part, it doesn't actually work in practice. Hell, it doesn't even work between standard Unix programs. They don't "integrate and coordinate" at all. They just push unstructured text around, and in some cases that's sufficient to perform some very basic compound tasks.
There is an upcoming project though that tries to make Unix pipelines work the way they are supposed to: Nushell[1]. It has real composability with strongly typed data that flows between commands.
Guess how they're doing it? Yup, that's right: They're building it all as a monolithic system where the entire pipeline is supervised and interpreted by the shell. Unix is too fragmented and standards are too difficult to develop and implement for any other approach to be realistically feasible. "Small programs" are an evolutionary dead end.

Like seriously why does not one does it ?
Finally, I really do recommend looking into Nushell. It should give you a much better idea of how a shell could work if it weren't tied to ASCII blobs as its core data type.
If you're discontent with the state of shell scripting, you should give nushell a try: nushell.sh

Life is much simpler with bash
If structured data is what excites you about pwsh, you should check out nushell: https://www.nushell.sh/. It is cross-platform like pwsh, and takes a similar approach to structured data, but has a much simpler syntax that I find more readable and much nicer to type than pwsh.

Fish (shell) porting to Rust from C++
This won't help you with fish, but if you do want a Unix-y shell that works very very well on Windows, check out xonsh, which can be pip installd just as easily as a cargo install.

Where do I go after learning lua?
create a lua shell the way xonsh is a python-powered shell

Ask HN: Does anyone use xonsh shell?
https://xon.sh/
Looks pretty cool. I like that you can do basic arithmetic in the shell, feels like something every shell should be able to do out of the box.
Anybody using it as their daily driver? Any gotchas?

Python is all you need. End
What if you could use... both?

Like seriously why does not one does it ?
I'm not exactly sure what you're after. But there's https://xon.sh/ which gives you shell scripting and python together

What is your favorite ,most underrated 3rd party python module that made your programming 10 times more easier and less code ? so we can also try that out :-) .as a beginner , mine is pyinputplus
I prefer its inverse, xonsh.

You may be interested in Xonsh, it's python & bash together.

echo $SHELL
For the unknowing.

It is what it is.
This specifically is why I will NEVER waste a single minute learning how to write shell scripts. Whoever thought of that moronic syntax is a disgrace to the entire concept of programming. Plus, recently learned about xonsh, a python-based shell, which I'm very excited to try out.
