1. I don't use Python happily.

2. I think bash is a bad tool and we just can't get rid of it because it's ubiquitous and people are used to it. Stockholm syndrome. I wish something like Oil shell or Nu shell would take over, ideally a shell which passes objects, not strings.



I love YSH! But that's an odd take since it's heavily inspired by Python and also has a bunch of string types and 5 different types (i did have to look that up) of string interpolation. Combine that with OSH and you have a language ecosystem that has more weirdness than Bash and Python combined.


I love PowerShell
