Maybe I should have written it differently: I think people are rather willing to install another tool than a whole new shell. The later would also require you to fundamentally change your scripts, because that's most often where you need that carefully extracted data. Otherwise manually copying and pasting would suffice.
I was thinking about writing a post about
nuas well. But I wasn't sure that appeals to many, or is it should be part of something like a collection of stuff I like, together with fish as an example of a more traditional shell.Maybe you should just learn the toolsets better. Structured looks great until you’re tasked either with parsing a 20GB structured file. Each line of text representing a single item in a collection makes total sense, then when you get into things like a list subtype there’s nothing stopping you from using a char sequence to indicate a child item.
One might wonder if at those file sizes, working with text still makes sense. I think there's a good reason
journalduses a binary format for storing all that data. And "real" databases tend to scale better than text files in a filesystem as well, even though a filesystem is a database.Most people won't have to deal with that amount of text based data ever.
