  • atom

    Shell scripting that will knock your socks off (by adam-mcdaniel)

  • Not to mention several projects that provide an interactive shell-like experience as a thin layer over a powerful programming language, like Babashka (Clojure) or Rash (Racket). Plus the existing shells that provide similar features, like Fish, Xonsh, Nushell, atomsh, etc.

  • Batsh

    A language that compiles to Bash and Windows Batch

  • There are a couple projects that provide a language that compiles to Bash, which gets around Oil's portability problem somewhat. Bish and Batsh come to mind.

  • 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.

  • fish-functions

    :wrench: My utility belt of fish functions, writing these has saved me many hours in the long run... I hope...

  • Issues collected from an experienced fish programmer. I just learned about this and some are pretty bad: https://github.com/pirate/fish-functions/blob/master/README.md

  • oil

    Oils is our upgrade path from bash to a better language and runtime. It's also for Python and JavaScript users who avoid shell!

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
