What's your preferred shell & why?
I use bash and always have, but recently I've been interested in switching to either nushell and es for interactive use.

What's your preferred shell & why?
Both provide scripting languages that are more "functional" (in the sense of functional programming). nushell is newer, written in Rust, under active development, and seems to be stabilizing. es is older (circa 1990s), written in C, and based on rc and scheme. There's also a C++ version xs that appears abandoned as well as a few forks sprinkled around. None are POSIX-compatible.

The Fish Shell Is Amazing
I'd rather have a more powerful shell that uses a functional style yet preserves many shell semantics we're all familiar with (like XS, https://github.com/TieDyedDevil/XS , except maintained!) than an easier-to-use shell
What are some alternatives?
When comparing es-shell and XS you can also consider the following projects:
micro-editor - A modern and intuitive terminal-based text editor
slimzsh - Small, usable configuration for ZSH
fish-shell - The user-friendly command line shell.
aush - Pythonic subprocess library
josh
zgen - A lightweight and simple plugin manager for ZSH
fzf-tab - Replace zsh's default completion selection menu with fzf!
fzf - :cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder
zsh-syntax-highlighting - Fish shell like syntax highlighting for Zsh.
