Yeah I started with the shell script route because it felt like the best way to get familiar with it quickly. Then I'd probably go backwards to interactive usage.

The error messages did look very nice.

I have been considering dipping my toes into a less standard shell over the past few years. It is so so so hard to break away from the ubiquitous bullshit that most of us are stuck with. I have no love for the Bourne shell and its derivatives, although zsh is some nice lipstick on a very ugly pig.

The other candidates I'm aware of are fish, nushell and oils. I think nushell is the "most" different, but the last time I tried it, I bounced off of it for reasons I can't remember.



Yeah, switching shell is a major time investment. I couldn’t blame you for sticking with the default, after all, I was initially unwilling to invest time into learning ripgrep :D

And you’re right that it wasn’t a fair a trade asking you to look at Murex in exchange for ripgrep (which is nice by the way!) but I respect that you did take a look nonetheless.
