    Next Generation Shell (NGS)

    Oh interesting... author of that article developed https://ngs-lang.org/.

  • xplr

    A hackable, minimal, fast TUI file explorer

    Certain file managers like xplr allow for more advanced terminal UX. Check out the video on https://xplr.dev/ and you can see something like a live/interactive ls that allows toggling arguments (instead of running multiple commands and pushing previous stdout further into the past).

  • SonarQube

    Static code analysis for 29 languages.. Your projects are multi-language. So is SonarQube analysis. Find Bugs, Vulnerabilities, Security Hotspots, and Code Smells so you can release quality code every time. Get started analyzing your projects today for free.

  • nushell

    A new type of 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!

  • PsySH

    A REPL for PHP

    Why choose when you can have both in one https://psysh.org/ lol... I testdrove it once, but not convinced (I think the "merged" 2-languages-in-1 is pretty funny but maybe it works for some people).

  • plan9port

    Plan 9 from User Space

    Folks here might be interested in the Plan 9 user interface and how its terminal and shell interacted. The rio terminal window is lacking control codes, but then allows the user to select back history and edit it for resubmission to the shell. A port of it is available under X via the Plan 9 from User Space port project (https://9fans.github.io/plan9port/).

  • InfluxDB

    Access the most powerful time series database as a service. Ingest, store, & analyze all types of time series data in a fully-managed, purpose-built database. Keep data forever with low-cost storage and superior data compression.
