A data-oriented shell

Conclusion

Nushell is still evolving and its community is active (you can check Nushell's GitHub page [5] for the latest plugins and tips). Nushell's professional yet accessible approach means it can be adopted gradually – you might start by using it interactively for data inquiries and eventually incorporate it into your automation scripts once you trust its capabilities. With structured output, you will likely find that many tasks that used to require a mash-up of shell tools and scripting can now be done in a single Nushell pipeline, resulting in clearer and more maintainable command-line workflows.
