ion

I've been looking for a new shell to test drive, seems like there are a lot of modernization that could be added by starting from scratch in the area. My daily driver Zsh hasn't changed for a long time. Also have had my eye on ion[1] for a while, are there any other innovative shell projects out there? [1]: https://github.com/redox-os/ion

Redox also has it's own non-standard shell that has been worked on for a while, called Ion. I don't believe it's entirely POSIX-compatible, and has some neat features of its own. That said, it's certainly possible someone could end up porting over Nushell to work on Redox, but I don't think that's currently on their roadmap. [1] https://github.com/redox-os/ion

This looks to be in a similar vein to the Ion shell, which was developed for Redox [1]. Both written in Rust, both not (seemingly) perfectly POSIX-compatible, etc. I'm not sure I'd personally choose to go with either one over shell if I knew anyone else was going to need to use it, but it's cool to see iteration and experimentation on things that I usually consider to be the fundamentals of the computing environment.

Sounds like what you want is more along the lines of the Ion shell[1], rather than Elvish. It's written in Rust, and the performance well exceeds Dash (written in C), despite having a lot of features that Dash is unable to do efficiently. Go's just not a good a language for writing a shell, especially once you get into job control and signal handling, or if you care about performance. Some of the great features you won't find in Bash or Zsh are the string and array methods[2], first class arrays[3], slicing syntax[4], tuple assignments[5], optionally type-checked assignments[6], ability to use functions within pipelines, typed function parameters, a much simpler syntax, and more. Many of the best ideas from Fish, Oil, Elvish, Bash, Zsh and other shells have been implemented or are in the process of being implemented. - [1] https://github.

Rash? Rust Already SHell (There's already a "RuSH" made with Ruby). Oh. https://github.com/redox-os/ion CLASH - Common Lisp Again SHell? Oh. http://www.cliki.net/CLISP-Shell Doh! https://docs.racket-lang.org/rash/index.html Someone put OO in my Linux shell! https://virtualizationreview.com/articles/2017/06/01/how-to-...

There's also this project: https://github.com/redox-os/ion It's intially build with RedoxOS (in Rust as well) underneath, but now also runs on Linux. Seems to be a bit more mature. I wonder what sets these two projects apart, and/or if the devs of Casada know of Ion's existence.
