I've been trying nushell and words fail me. It's like it was made for actual humans to use! 🤯 🤯 🤯
It even repeats the column headers at the end of the table if the output takes more than your screen...
Trying to think of how to do the same thing with
awk/grep/sort/whateveris giving me a headache. Actually just thinking aboutawkis giving me a headache. I think I might be allergic.I'm really curious, what's your favorite shell? Have you tried other shells than your distro's default one? Are you an awk wizard or do you run away very fast whenever it's mentioned?
I don't think that's what I'd actually want, no. I want GNU find functionality for this to be a viable shell replacement. It's... neat, but it's no daily driver.
back to /bin/zsh for me!
you can absolutely do what you want. GNU
findis external and since it conflicts with a builtin can be aliased or referenced like^find.the syntax is new for sure, and it’s not for everyone.
been daily driving for over a year
I prefer flow to futz. Thanks for the info. Glad it's working for you. I'm staying with what works well for me.
I switched from GNU
findtofd2 years ago, unbeknownst to me at the time, this unlocked nu as a daily driver, which I’ve really enjoyed for the past year. I do fire up zsh semi-regularly when needed to escape some hairbrained corners. Scripting in nu is very nice thanks to the data manipulation and closure support. So nice to move from text manipulation to semantic structuring.They kinda have to replace some coreutils like find from scratch to be compatible with their philosophy of piping data tables instead of text. It’s super cool and ends up being really powerful but yeah it’s a whole new ecosystem which makes it pretty much impossible to be a drop-in shell replacement.
You can use both.
