Imagine a dialogue. Each time you want to reference something that the other side said - you can’t. Welcome to the Unix shell. That’s why I’m working on Next Generation Shell. #NextGenerationShell

Let's talk about the "interactive shell". Did you notice that to achieve anything above very low threshold you are forced either to copy+paste output of previous program to be input of the next program or start coding? Sad... but I'm on it. #unix #shell #NextGenerationShell

This is wrong because exit() in #Python by default exits with code 0. exit() in #NextGenerationShell defaults to 1 because (in most cases) nobody exits in the middle if everything is OK. Like in this example. Also, exit() in NGS takes message so it would be exit(“please …”)

User: (issues the same command several times) Friend: oh, I see you are waiting for that pipeline to finish. Wouldn't it be great if your shell suggested polling? Shell: nah, unrelated commands, just happened to be exact same #NextGenerationShell

User: I'm trying to complete my task here... Shell: nope, these are separate, unrelated commands unless you tell otherwise User: if that's the default, do most users most of the time issue random unrelated commands? Shell: no it's because I don't care #NextGenerationShell

You can ride a bicycle and sometimes it makes sense. If you are told to move a package from one city to another at work, chances are, you do it by something else. Anyhow, bash is the bicycle which is often abused. #NextGenerationShell

Why we are not getting anywhere? - Hey, look! This code is shorter, clearer and handles errors correctly. - But bash is everywhere... #NextGenerationShell

#NextGenerationShell I'll just leave it here for you to think how this would look like in the language that you use now. #python #ruby #golang #bash #typescript #javascript

I use Next Generation Shell btw😁 #NextGenerationShell ngs-lang.org

How do you know Python was not meant for DevOps? import sys ... sys.argv ... Migrate to #NextGenerationShell already

@NanouuSymeon #NextGenerationShell because I created it and that's why it's aligned with how I think. Happy DevOps!

Go ahead, convince me that an interface where all interaction happens on one line is better than an interface that uses the whole screen. #devops #unix #shell #NextGenerationShell

@jacobtechtavern @ChShersh Beauty compared to what? list_numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4].map(X*10) Looks better to me then the unloved and limited lambda in Python. #NextGenerationShell

#javascript blah.map(({ value }) => value) #NextGenerationShell blah.value

How is your shell handling the UI? Oh, it doesn't and has no plans? It's stuck in CLI? You mean the telegraph communication paradigm, send text and receive text? #NextGenerationShell

Friendly reminder: #devops job is not to #code but to solve business problems. If you could just record what you are doing and replay when needed next time that would be great. I mean that would be #NextGenerationShell Happy holidays!

Unix shell: - Are you trying to get something done? I'm so sorry, I thought these were just random commands that have nothing to do with each other. Here, take variables. Anyhow, it's still your problem. #NextGenerationShell

Very few features in a programming language justify their own syntax. That's the approach in #NextGenerationShell

Tired of reimplementing retry function in too many of your shell scripts? Try #NextGenerationShell #DevOps

If you are on the collector/collect camp rather than on the gather/take camp, you can try #NextGenerationShell
