      Fish isn’t POSIX…

      That said, I tried nushell a couple times and it’s pretty cool. Just a big hurdle for right now.

        yeah, but they did reverse course on ; and vs && to be more POSIX compatible, which is a decision i understand but don’t agree with

          Hmm, where did you hear that? I’m reading the manual through relevant parts but I can’t find anything regarding those combiners and POSIX compliancy.

          Do you have a link perhaps?

            it was years ago. they used to not support &&, but they added it so people could paste commands into the terminal

            i think this is the PR from 8 years ago 👴: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4620

              Love the pragmatic discourse in that issue. The suggestion is also really well formulated. Bravo to everyone involved.
