Agreed, I use this in conjunction with Starship [1], both initialized specifically for Fish in the config. I love this shell so much.

I recently discovered Cmder:
https://cmder.app/
It's a portable console emulator and gives you the ability to "place your own executable files into the bin folder to be injected into your PATH" when it's run.
So far I've added:

PowerShell: https://github.com/dahlbyk/posh-git/blob/master/src/GitPromp...
I believe this is clean Bash code and clean PowerShell code, and a script with a certain complexity. The functions inside the Bash script are documented using comments, the ones inside the PowerShell script are documented using "structured comments" (similar to javadoc/xmldoc/...). The parameters of the functions inside the PowerShell script also contain metadata which is used to provide completion on the commandline and similar functionality as the command line flags you demonstrated.
I just learned about 'getopts' in Bash, which you can actually also use to implement parameters to a Bash function. So what you are showing on a script level, can also be applied for functions. Did not know about that.
Still, not saying PowerShell is better than Bash in a Linux context, but it seems a lot of Linux users have a gut reaction to right out reject PowerShell. I think it does have some advantages for certain use cases, like more complex scripts, a cross-platform context, ... and of course, for someone with a .NET background it's easier to program more complex things with it.
