  12. I'm a longtime bash user using osh as my default shell for a year or so now, with only minor noticeable issues. I haven't yet had a need to invest time in the still-being-designed ysh.
    I feel osh is the killer feature of the Oils project - 1. a truly compatible, cleaned up, principled bash replacement, with 2. optional knobs you can turn to gain more correctness and power, and 3. the promise of easy interop or migration to the next-gen ysh language, providing future-proofness.

  17. The #oils:matrix.org chat room I started last year, for matrix users to chat about #oilshell, is still an undiscovered secret. But I think it'll grow eventually, and I hope so because Zulip just isn't as easy!

  22. I like being able to use flexible, rock solid, industrial strength tools from the huge programmer ecosystem to maintain and analyse my financial records. For one example: + + /#jj (complemented by ledger-mode, flycheck-hledger, , , ..)

    I like knowing that my data and reports are safe, portable, owned by me, utterly trustworthy, and get strictly better over time.
    And if needed could be read or reconstructed by humans from a printout.
