    but like… none of this makes the terminal more powerful.

    something like the Arcan lash/cat9 shell is a massive leap forward in terminal technology that may potentially completely change how we use it. it does this by understanding what makes the terminal productive: pipelining, batch processing and scripting.

    meanwhile this is just… a skin.

      I don’t think this is intended to fundamentally change what a terminal/shell does - it doesn’t even go as far as Nushell. It’s just about modernising the interface.

        it sure sounds like it’s trying to. although i agree it’s probably intentionally hyperbolic.
