Message to the person responsible for the site: they should use code blocks instead of images for their code. I say this because I can't read the text inside the images from mobile. It's way too small.

#12How does this compare to nushell? I am in the market to learn something other than bash and right now nushell seems like the best candidate.
Honestly any interactive shell + unix tools + any scripting language you feel comfortable with should cover the majority of things you may want to do on the command line.

I'm responsible.
I need to revise those, and images seemed like the way to get colorization right. I'll try to figure out how to do it with code blocks, it will hopefully be more maintainable. Cutting/pasting images is ridiculous.

I wrote marcel. In my view, nushell and marcel are very similar. nushell has tabular output, which I haven't thought was all that useful.
Marcel is python-based. The nushell guys have had to invent a lot of language. By basing marcel on python, I don't have to invent language. Any logic to be added is expressed in python. E.g, do a recursive listing of files and find those that changed in the last 3 days:
ls -fr | select (f: now() - f.mtime() Lots of marcel examples here: https://marceltheshell.org

weird to say, but powershell should also be on your list.
Yep. It's a very clean, powerful and well thought out API. And I'm saying that coming from a place of love towards unix and its pipes. I'd almost argue it's better than the unix model. Almost.
Been able to give poweshell commands in FOIA litigation and its power is on full display with one liners where it's hard for a gov agency to say no to something so simple.

I saw Marcel's movie in theaters probably 7 times at least. Top, top movie. The YouTube shorts a great of course, but the movie is next-level.

#17Hate to be "that guy", but it's kinda sad that they pretty much stole the name... especially when the (fantastic!) movie with the original character came out recently in 2021. https://youtu.be/k98Afd7Nf3Y
I wrote marcel. I picked the name because of the short that preceded the movie!

For a lot of 8-bit computers, BASIC was the default operating system shell.

When I watched that in cinema I couldn't help divert my attention to a family of two adults and two children in the rows ahead of me who left a third the way through. Wonder what they were expecting.
Oh no! It’s a delightful movie. I watched with my wife and daughter and loved it.

Might have felt sick. Or both kids got hungry and started whining. You can never tell from the outside
