Comment on Elvish – Scripting language and interactive shellparent

Comments

What about fish? I've enjoyed using it for years.

There's a few obvious features missing in fish like backgrounding an alias or an equivalent to set -e, other than that I have no complaints.

The first thing I do on any machine is install fish.

fish is amazing. I use it as my primary shell.

But for writing scripts I would reach for Elvish/Nushell. More powerful.
