Operating Systems OS X (Apple) MacOS 10.15 (Catalina) switches from bash to zsh Post 303040311 by drl on Saturday 26th of October 2019 11:30:06 AM

Hi.

Thanks to Scrutinizer for starting this (and possibly to wisecracker for an earlier note).

My collection of links is below, in no specific order of usefulness.

My current interest in shells is zsh, but also the very new nu, and PowerShell (pwsh). The nu shell looks to be very useful for tables/csv files, and is written in Rust, a language in which I am also interested (the grep-work-alike written in Rust is the fastest of the greps which I track and periodically test: GitHub - BurntSushi/ripgrep: ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern).

Here are some links to information on these ... cheers, drl
