rush

Tangential: I would love to see more interpreted languages offer shells with native constructs for operating as daily drivers shells (not just REPLs). When I first started learning Ruby I used `rush`[0] as my main shell. Being immersed in the language, even if there were a few helpers for shell operations, really helped me reason better about Ruby and think in the language. `scsh`[1] was enlightening as well. Ultimately the ergonomics of both pushed me back to more conventional variant but they were really helpful learning mechanisms. 0: https://github.com/adamwiggins/rush 1: https://github.com/scheme/scsh

One of the founders of Heroku actually had a short-lived effort to build a Ruby-based shell called Rush https://github.com/adamwiggins/rush

There actually far more more tools created so far, for example - https://github.com/adamwiggins/rush - https://github.com/xonsh/xonsh Its amazing that people still try this nowdays that pwsh solved it for all.

https://github.com/adamwiggins/rush Its rush, a typo. I do not recommend it for serious usage, its more or less failed PoC. On the other hand, its basically the same as ergonomica, and I would prefer ruby to python when shell is in question, given that white space thingie. It looks like there was a recent activity maintainer tho, see a PR, but its abandoned again: https://github.com/adamwiggins/rush/pull/19

I was totally entusiastic when you mentioned this so I went to read the docs. While it does seem way "shellier" then pure python I don't think its comparable to Powershell. One of the main benefits of posh is that it provides standards on arguments so that discoverability is easy. Along with that you get automatic tab completition for everything, module autoloading and nice stuff such as proxy commands, JEA and other great stuff not avaialble in alternatives. The other one is that nowdays many tools expose automation via powershell modules - sql server, visual svn, chocoalatey, vmware, etc. just to name few - so all that power seems wasted with xonsh on Windows. Not to mention wmi, COM and other nastier stuff becomes way more problematic then it needs to be. Good luck driving Excel for example. There was similar attempt with Ruby (https:/

Rush is my new favorite. http://github.com/adamwiggins/rush A Ruby shell that allows you to do things like, local_dir = Rush::Box.new('localhost')['/Users/adam/server_logs/'].create servers = %w(www1 www2 www3).map { |n| Rush::Box.new(n) } servers.each { |s| s['/var/log/nginx/access.log'].copy_to local_dir["#{s.host}_access.log"] }
