In a way, this is cool. But I am also confused. Why does a shell include commands? Is this the beginning of a new type of distribution? A new type of GNU perhaps? Probably not. But I am not completely following what this provides that the two projects independently would not.
I am looking forward to NuShell 1.0.0, where they finally add email support:<p><a href="https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Zawinski#Zawinski's_Law" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Zawinski#Zawinski's_Law</a>
I'm a seeming nobody (hurrah new HN accounts) but I cannot express how much excitement I have for nushell, and this only intensifies it. Practical, and progresses towards resolving one of my only complaints with nushell currently. Don't sleep on nushell. I've never regretted reaching for it. You think jq is 'good', but only because you haven't nushell. Maybe it's the (insert tool that gives me my exact dev env on any Linux-y machine I can walk up to) but nushell is invaluable to me. I was shocked the other day when tired-me wrote a shell script and started employing my usual bash-isms before changing the shebang to nushell and embracing serenity. Mad respect for JT and the folks that JT has attracted.
