I just found out about fish shell a few moments ago. I switched Konsole on KDE to use it instead of bash and am impressed so far. Might install it on the Pihole eventually. Good stuff, just wanted to share. :)

    but damn it’s frustrating when you want to do a fast and simple bash scripting

    Of course it’s going to be frustrating to try to write bash scripts and then try to run them as fish scripts.

    What you should be doing is writing fish scripts and running them as fish scripts. That is a much more pleasant experience. 🙃

      I know. I just don’t want to. There’s no point in learning fish scripting, you won’t use them anywhere unless you want your colleagues to hate you because now they also have to learn it for no reason.

        I only use my scripts privately and my scripts are now shorter and easier to read and maintain. Also I use it as my everyday shell, and I couldn’t be happier with a shell right now, that I know of. The documentation is also extremely good. Simple to understand, and a small language.

        There’s a big point to learning it if you like its design principles. But if you don’t, then there isn’t. 👍

        Enjoy whatever shell you like!
