A very interesting new shell written in Rust.

It’s available in AUR, Arch Linux - nushell 0.41.0-1 (x86_64)

Not sure how I feel about this. I mean, do we really need a shell that draws inspiration from the likes of powershell? In any event, I wish the team luck.

Interesting approach, it’s essentially just a bash/cmd wrapper

If a command is unknown, the command will shell-out and execute it (using cmd on Windows or bash on Linux and macOS), correctly passing through stdin, stdout, and stderr, so things like your daily git workflows and even vim will work just fine.

It’s not really a shell then imo.

Yeah, looks like so. They treat the output as a table and borrow some SQL syntax to handle the final results.
