But I am using Fish. It's like you don't even know me!

I use Nushell, yes, I know I'm insane.

@HappyFrog @ruffsl you're not insane. I think you're a person that knows what they like and knows what works for them which is the beauty of Linux.

Also I've never heard of nushell and now you've made me want to check it out!

Thank you :3 I just like structured data. It's tedious, and it won't work with most apps, but it's beautiful.

I get annoyed by differences with (Ba|Z)sh when I try Fish, but nushell is so much its own thing that it's fun.

I'm glad you mentioned nushell (it sounds like) is a more poweruser thing. Someone recommended it in place of fish in another thread and I was curious to check it out, but it sounds like not at all what I want or need as a fish user and that saves me the trouble of trying to make heads or tails of a terminal tool I don't understand

But it looks like a cool project and I'm glad it exists for people like you! 😊

Scrubbing through the video, this hurts my soul

echo $(echo $STRING | sed 's/World/Bash/')

For variables bash has PE forms:

echo ${STRING/World/Bash}

I miss these too much when I try Fish.
