This is not something you can hide like that, people notice cameras being installed.

Support for custom types is not there.

There is some unstability yes.

For me the larger problems were the lack of types which in practice meant that I was running into the same problems as with bash.

We are on the same page then.

I was a big fan of Nushell for some time but has the same problems as unix shells. I have this CLI tool that manages a lot of things for me (a big one is downloading and cataloging arxiv papers, it downloads them and tags them with metadata and gives each PDF a proper filename based on the author's name and publication year). I tried building this in Nushell but it became eventually so painful.

Something like that yes. The endless parsing and reparsing that you need to do in the unix shells is such a pain.

Looking at things like this

```

let result = try await Subprocess.run(

  .name("ls"),

  arguments: ["-la"],

  output: .string(limit: 4096)
)

print(result.standardOutput)`

```

reminds me that macOS could really use something like powershell (I know you can run powershell on macOS) where you pass around structured data, rather than the endless parsing and reparsing. This is mostly a feature of the shell but you do need some language infrastructure to accomplish it.
