Well, technically, it’s not broken, just slower

Well, it doesn’t silently ignore files, it tells you if the work tree is dirty.

Though I’ve tripped over the different behaviors of the repl vs the rest of the tools myself in funny ways

It’s a choice I can live without, I see the appeal of !! but usually, history is informative only, if I want something reusable, I write a function.

Ah, okay.

It shows that I’m not using POSIX shells

Yeah, I wasn’t sure there, the question mark was supposed to apply to all shells…

These additions are about user familiarity, not inter-shell compatibility is my point. Fish and bash are fundamentally incompatible. Just because they share keywords doesn’t mean they’re compatible. You wouldn’t say Rust got Python compatible just because it introduced a keyword or a concept from it.

Yeah, fish is a very comfortable shell in all regards. The standard installation does basically about 90% of what you typically want, probably more. Just very sensible in all aspects

No, but I feel bad when I need to deploy a big package for a bit of scripting.

For example, nushell is about 160 MB installed… which I find a bit much. It’s fine on my desktop, but I also have machines where this would be a significant addition.

I’m not the biggest fan of bash either, there’s a reason I use fish, though I also like elvish for interactive use (though it’s rather young all things considered) and in maybe going to use YSH for my next script project as that shell is very small (2MB or so) and yet makes sense.

Fish is really a pleasant shell, nothing groundbreaking but it’s just nice.

That said, I wouldn’t speak of “bash compatibility” just because another symbol/ operator from bash can now be used in fish (this happens sometimes), but this isn’t for compatibility but rather so that you don’t need to learn the fish equivalent. Fish has a different syntax from bash (e.g. command substitution doesn’t use $, no do in for loops…) so they’ll never be compatible. There are bash compatible shells out there (I guess zsh, dash and probably oil?), but fish isn’t and doesn’t try to be.

There’s always TempleOS.

Oh given the fact that I assume Trump voters are racist my comment was a backhand compliment, but I guess the sarcasm wasn’t obvious enough.

NixOS is very tightly coupled to systemd, though there are efforts to change that

Racists were right, there is a relation between the color of your skin and your intelligence

An example of selection bias

“We asked a group of people defining themselves as approving of everything Trump does if they approve of this thing Trump did, and the results are overwhelming!” What would be more interesting is whether that actual group has stayed the same size ever since he made his latest decisions

NixOS went from not being visible to… beating Manjaro!

Whatever that’s supposed to tell

It’s not their fault the average consumer doesn’t have a sizeable media library

It’s a very cool site, I also used it to understand TLS 1.3 better as that one’s a bit less intuitive than 1.2 in my opinion.

Guardia Civil makes up for it

She’s in it for herself.

Blending in perfectly with the rest
