Can you give an example of something that PS can do that is built-in for text processing, instead of a proprietary symbolic query language?

ripgrep
ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore
Project mention: Ripgrep is faster than {grep, ag, Git grep, ucg, pt, sift} | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-30Never will be: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/FAQ.md#pos...
If you need drop-in compatibility with grep, then use grep. :-)

This project will consist of a single "index.js" file that you can deploy anywhere. I recommend using an Nginx reverse proxy and pm2 to keep the service running.

AFAIK there is a find replacement with sane defaults: https://github.com/sharkdp/fd , a lot of people I know love it.
However, I already have this in my muscle memory:

Project mention: Modern-Unix: collection of modern/faster/saner options to common Unix commands | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-20

Project mention: How to Get a Unix-Like Terminal Environment in Windows and Visual Studio Code | dev.to | 2023-09-28
Assuming you already have Visual Studio Code installed, the first thing you'll want to do is Download Cmder. Extract the files to C:\cmder, or wherever you like.

Looks cool, right? Building a similar UI in the terminal without any library would be quite hard, though, thanks to Ink it's almost as easy as building any frontend UI with React.

Project mention: Revolutionizing Text Editor Navigation and Altarnative to Vim and GNUEmacs | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-01
I am all for your efforts.
I am very keyboard centric. My sweet spot is macOS keyboard shortcuts. Especially those as defined by BBEdit.
But I have learned from all the platforms I have worked on. (TRS-DOS, MSDOS, OS/2, macOS, Windows, Linux)
I never get into Vim primarily because of HJKL. I have spent many hours trying. But I do use IJKL as arrow keys via hardware keyboard macros, AutoHotKey, Karabiner Elements, or the like. I have mostly bent Windows and KDE Linux to my Mac-like keyboard standards. (And my Mac’s are heavily customized too)
I do heavily use CTRL and arrow keys for word by word navigation, and all the other arrow key bindings. So that is a personal deal breaker for me.
You should take a look at the Micro editor. It shares many of your ideas.

I would like to follow your work. Please post a link to a blog or git repository

Can compile to a single binary to build tools like exa

winget-cli
WinGet is the Windows Package Manager. This project includes a CLI (Command Line Interface), PowerShell modules, and a COM (Component Object Model) API (Application Programming Interface).
Currently, I'm troubleshooting an annoying issue on my shared devices that it's a hell to delete. See this ticket: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/3365

TUI’s are awesome; I’ve used this library to build them in the past: https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea
For a sufficiently-complex system, a CLI client just isn’t as powerful as a live “console”. A TUI can play the part and you don’t have to venture into the web SPA world.

Project mention: Best practices for distributing and updating a Go CLI on Linux? | /r/golang | 2023-05-18
Can you use a framework like urfavecli https://github.com/urfave/cli? This will auto-update every time it detects a new version from your CLI's GitHub repository

Project mention: Is there a way to shorten the Laptop, CPU and GPU name so that it fits inside the box on neofetch | /r/EndeavourOS | 2023-06-07

If you boil plop down to its core, it is basically glue code between inquirer prompts and handlebar templates.

Project mention: Show HN: Inshellisense – IDE style shell autocomplete | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-06
> It is very possible to write sub 100ms procedures in TS, […]
I will not disagree with this statement because I don’t have a way to test inshellisense right now. Could you (or anyone with a working Node + NPM installation) please install inshellisense and post the actual numbers? Perhaps using a tool like hyperfine (https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine).

There's also this awesome tool to make JSON interactively navigable in the terminal:

Project mention: Help compiling a package with a compiler flag from an official Debian source | /r/debian | 2023-11-03
The other option is to just download the static version https://github.com/jarun/nnn/releases/download/v4.9/nnn-nerd-static-4.9.x86_64.tar.gz and overwrite the Debian executable at /usr/bin/nnn, but this seems a bit hacky, agreed?

GoAccess
GoAccess is a real-time web log analyzer and interactive viewer that runs in a terminal in *nix systems or through your browser.
Maybe, if it's just local and need just information, maybe https://goaccess.io is an option.
