I had not heard of Nushell but I find it fun to read about new takes on foundational Unix tools. This one looks pretty cool. It is a significant break from the traditional look of a shell.
Unlike bash or zsh, Nushell is built around the idea of structured data. It has a range of basic types including numeric types, strings, dictionaries and lists -- in short, the types a modern programming language is built on. It adds to them support for tables, which are built from any sequence of dictionaries.
Prett nifty! 🤓
