  • fish is also a much nicer language to write scripts in than bash

    I rewrote my entire ~/.local/bin repo of scripts from bash to fish and they are probably 50% shorter on average, actually understandable after not reading them for 6 months so highly maintainable, and actually fun to write in comparison. Argument parsing is also such a breeze.

    I love it. Been using it a few years now and I’ll never use a Bourne style shell again, interactively. Nushell is the only other type of shell I’ve my eyes on, but that seems more useful if I’m in a position where I need to process a lot of data like logs or something.
