I don’t think nushell or crush for that matter copy PowerShell. They have learnt from MS and built upon what they didn’t get right. Strongly typed objects on the command line is theoretically interesting, but slow and complex in practice (why does it still take 3-4 seconds to run ls / gci in my homedir at home?). Text in columns gives you the simplicity of text coupled with some level of structure.


3 to 4 s to run ls?

U should fix ur computer rather then spreading FUD.

Also its clearly stated that copy of pwsh is intention on both projects.

Nushell is still one man show just like crush so they need decade or so to get to pwsh level.

Its nice to make stuff and offer alternatives but lets keep perspective here.


Column orientation is very different to object orientation.

My computer runs just fine. Do you really think pwsh is fast?


No. Its acceeptable, and mostly startup related. Certainly not even close to the level u claim. Once started it is more or less OK depending on specific cmdlet and task in question. I use it in production on numerious gov level services serving millions.

Vim is slower for example but rarelly anybody compalain about it given its power.


They haven't learned everything, because the other part is integration with all sorts of native libraries and IPC.
