    Nushell not being able to handle "literally json with functions" nix kinda killed it for me. I don't work with json and yaml is easy to read but i do work with nix and being able to view big pieces of code nushell style would be nice.

    This looks incredibly powerful and cool.. but also like the kind of thing that may be a bit too niche or experimental for me to learn after just 2 years of the occasional casual Bash scripting and 4 weeks of having used zsh as my terminal.

    I am trying to resist

      I feel you on this. I recently switched to fish, and have one or two .fish scripts that don't really "do" anything. Everything else remotely important is still in bash, and I'll probably keep it that way

      Maybe somewhere down the line...
