Returning (echoing) lists in Fish shell - Lemmy.World
I’m new to Fish and really liking it so far but the list type is really
confusing me. Something that I find really non-intuitive about fish is the list
data type. You can set a list like this sh set my_list a b c echo my_list[1] #a
But if you try this it doesnt work: txt function mklist echo a b c end set lst
(mklist) echo $lst[1] # a b c Putting the echo in quotes doesnt work either. You
can do: txt function mklist echo a b c end set lst (string split " " --
(mklist)) echo $lst[1] # a But needing to always split your return values is
kinda terrible. So it seems like what fish expects you to do is echo multiple
lines. txt function mklist echo a echo b echo c end set lst (mklist) echo
$lst[1] # a Its just very weird to me that it doesnt understand a comma
delimited string to be a list. I feel like I must be missing something.

I haven’t freelanced since the Craigslist / Fiverr days but I’m looking to get
back in the game. Figured this question might be helpful to others as well.

The programmer identity crisis - Lemmy.World
> The ghosts of ancient Hackers past still roam the machines and—through the
culture they established—our minds. Their legacy of the forging of craft
lingers. A deep and kinetic craft we’ve extended and built a passionate industry
on. We are driven by the same wonder, sense of achievement, and elegance of
puzzle-solving as they were. Still driven by “The Right Thing.” These
constitutional ideas, the very identity of programmers, are increasingly
imperiled. Under threat. The future of programming, once so bright and apparent,
is now cloaked in foreboding darkness, grifts, and uncertainty.
