    Next Generation Shell (NGS)

  • Nice... but how you fix the way something fundamental as `if` works in bash? Each `if` is a bomb. `if grep -q ...;then ...;else ...;fi`. Two branches for three possible exit codes. Given a long script and big amount of output, you will miss the error message such a file not found and the execution will peacefully continue into the else branch.

    Things like the above motivated me to create Next Generation Shell.
