the-future

The shell, in particular the Bourne-Again Shell has been popular for many years. But what does the future hold? With the advent of the Linux Subsystem for Windows, new shells like Nushell, and the latest version of MacOS switching from Bash to Z-Shell, we finish off by looking at some of the trends which might shape how we use shells in the future.

Scattered notes so far:

• A Terminal for the Graphical Age - Great article on an ASCII terminal with modern features. Very interesting project.
• Another interesting project is Nu: https://github.com/nushell/nushell
• There's a great podcast about Nu here: https://changelog.com/podcast/363
