  • 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.

    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
