Is it true that most web developers use Linux and that's what you use at your job as a web developer?
Fish is deliberately not POSIX compliant and it's much nicer to use. Redox is going for UNIX compliance overall, but is deliberately being even less POSIX like than fish in their ion shell.

Nushell: A New Type of Shell
I've been looking for a new shell to test drive, seems like there are a lot of modernization that could be added by starting from scratch in the area. My daily driver Zsh hasn't changed for a long time.
Also have had my eye on ion[1] for a while, are there any other innovative shell projects out there?

Bash Menu
I really like using something like fuzzy search for menus like these. https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu is pretty cool in that it works both in a terminal, X11 and on Wayland, so if you want to do something graphical later you can easily migrate. There's also fzf and skim, which work similarly but are only for the terminal.

FzfLua Quickstart: it's never been easier to try out fzf-lua
Current profiles (to be improved upon): | Profile | Details | | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | default | fzf-lua defaults, uses neovim "builtin" previewer and devicons (if available) for git/files/buffers | | fzf-native | utilizes fzf's native previewing ability in the terminal where possible using bat for previews | | fzf-tmux | similar to fzf-native and opens in a tmux popup (requires tmux > 3.2) | | max-perf | similar to fzf-native and disables icons globally for max performance | | telescope | closest match to telescope defaults in look and feel and keybinds | | skim | uses skim as an fzf alternative, (requires the sk binary) |

Is there a way to unravel a filepath based on a known end file?
There’s also a variety of fuzzy finders like https://github.com/lotabout/skim or fzf. Basically the same thing, but different interface.

I wrote a "12 favourite terminal tools" list-article, what did I left out that should be absolutely included?
Have you ever tried sk? skim is an fzf re-write in 🦞. While I use it occasionally, I never really incorporated fzf into my workflow so I'd be interested to hear your opinion.

Zsh history syntax highlighting on fzf-history-widget?
I’m not familiar at all with fzf, but I do know that skim supports this.
- CLI Item Selection Interface?

I like the Odin programming language
You state that as a blank and white fact, but there's nuance.
