JdeBPI saw this and my first though was 'Come on! The #Almquist shell has never been ported to #macOS before 2026⁈ It must have been there since the #NeXTStep days, surely. Someone has simply not known about it because xe never thought to look up the name Almquist.'
So I went looking.
Mad as it may seem, from what I've found so far, an Almquist shell on macOS does not turn up before 2025.

Nary a mention of Almquist on Apple StackExchange.
It looks like macOS went straight from the C shell on NeXTStep to the Bourne Again shell.
But macOS has had a Korn shell for decades, right?
