  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • xonsh

    :shell: Python-powered, cross-platform, Unix-gazing shell.

  • I know this isn't quite what you're asking for, but IPython (https://ipython.org/) is very capable as a Python + bash (or other) shell, as it allows you to easily integrate the system shell into the interactive environment. Although they now recommend Xonsh (https://xon.sh/) for such purposes.

  • jc

    CLI tool and python library that converts the output of popular command-line tools, file-types, and common strings to JSON, YAML, or Dictionaries. This allows piping of output to tools like jq and simplifying automation scripts.

  • I think you are probably thinking of:https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • nushell

    A new type of shell

  • I've stumbled also upon Nushell, which seems to try to emulate the value proposition of PowerShell and appears to have pretty active development, but it's still pretty new and presumably feature incomplete.

  • azurelinux

    Linux OS for Azure 1P services and edge appliances

  • awesome-nu

    A curated list of awesome tools that work within the nu language ecosystem e.g. nushell, scripts, nana, etc.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
