@bean Lately, #oilshell , which I have started daily driving on Ubuntu, and am working on a build for for FreeBSD.

See more at https://www.oilshell.org and particularly https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2021/01/why-a-new-shell.html

The goal of the project is to build a shell compatible with bash (osh), bust statically parsed and with an upgrade path to a much more powerful shell language (ysh), which improves on the warts of Bourne-lineage shells.

@umbu "a shell for the 90s"? bit late for that, innit?
Show threadovni disfarçadoMay 13, 2024
@bean the other shells are stuck in the 80s, so that's an improvement
