No it was a bunch of cute little web videos by Jenny Slate at least a decade before there was a real movie.
Not only don't I have to get used to another language, I can lean on Python's rich ecosystem.
Hi, I’m the author of Marcel. If you like it and want to work on it, I can use volunteers, for developing features, debugging, doc, porting, improving the website, you name it.

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 | se…
This looks interesting, but the examples don't really show off Marcel's power. The example you just gave without Marcel is: find . -type f -mtime -3 The example on this page: https://www.marceltheshell.org/list-processes ps -u djt | map (p: p.signal(9)) That's: pkill -9 -u djt The example for summing files by extension is a bit more interesting: ls -fr | map (f: (f.suffix, 1)) | red. + | sort Vs something like: find…
Good example of why machine readable output is important. Agree that the tutorial should showcase more and larger such examples.

Using the output of find into another program is not safe due to risk of file names containing delimiters. You need to use find -exec. Good example of why machine readable output is important. Agree that the tutorial should showcase more and larger such examples.

I'm not a license connoiseur. Why does GPL present a problem? (Not trying to be conentious, it's a genuine question.)
GPLv3 is a "strong copyleft" license. It comes with some significant pros and cons compared to more permissive licenses like MIT and BSD. You can find more about the philosophy behind it here: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy As the author, a benefit it offers you is protection against someone selling your work or a derivative of it, or redistributing it with added restrictions.
