Thanks! I think it's about alignment of the project and how you think. If it won't be it this time, I'm working on the user interface of Next Generation Shell now and I would like …

Opinion. Likely controversial. The fact that we need jq highlights that we are missing this functionality in shells. I argue that these days (nested) structured data is as basic re…

Thanks for the kind words. I phrase it as "fully fledged programming language with domain specific facilities". Hope it makes sense.

Hi. Author here. > I've actually already written a lot of the functionality I see here as bash (and other) functions That's exactly the reason these are part of stdlib. No reason f…

Make everyone use the metric system.

Hi. Author here. The biggest difference between NGS and other shells is the UI. It's work in progress. Ideas are at https://github.com/ngs-lang/ngs/wiki/UI-Design Another big diffe…

I don't think the structure is the problem. I think it's fine that the higher you go the bigger decisions and responsibility there is. The part that I think is not working is that …

I would like to make my DevOps colleagues more productive and less frustrated. I'm actually already doing it, it's just way slower when you can't do it as a full time job. I starte…

Next Generation Shell because I refuse to believe that UI that is limiting the interaction to single line is the pinnacle of UX that we can have today. Terminals introduced cursor …

Author of Next Generation Shell here. Questions are welcome.

Personal anecdote - I see spam is way up already. I assume some of the fired people were fighting spam.

Next Generation Shell. As a shell, it's a programming language and a UI. Half baked: programming language - pretty much done, we use it at work; UI - just starting to work on. Anan…

Hi. I'm Ilya Sher, author of Next Generation Shell. That's the only shell that I'm aware of that plans to do something "radical" about the UI/UX. By radical I mean something out of…

Not the same ergonomic. The language doesn't "understand" it's a section (no opportunities listed in the original comment).

Comments Section In Next Generation Shell I've experimented by adding section "arbitrary comment" { code here } and this is staying in the language. It looks good. That's instead o…

Yep. What bothers me is when you start looking at list comprehension is that you don't know if it's filter(), map(), or a combination. You have to read the list comprehension till …

I worked with Python for quite a few years but at 2013 it became too painful for "DevOps". The more I was thinking about how things could/should be the more frustrated I was. Pytho…

> Since you brought up JetBrains, I use no products made by them, at all, any more. Just curious. Why?

While not as thorough solution as mentioned here in comments, UFCS goes a long way in this direction. In Next Generation Shell, I've designed the methods so that the first paramete…

OOP implementation in Next Generation Shell was inspired by CLOS but it's way simpler. Defining a type: type MyType. At any point one can declare method: F myMethod(..., mt:MyType,…

I might have issues later. For now, in Next Generation Shell peg/leg parser is doing fine (with limited scripting around to avoid repetition). https://piumarta.com/software/peg/ ht…
