Very nice. The last sentence: " The syntax is cleaner than POSIX shell syntax and lets do anything that you can do in POSIX shells" Does alert people that fish is not a posix shell without saying "can't do". My version was a little more explicit but I like yours too. Both of these versions are a hell of a lot more positive then what is there now. I also think your description is better because it points out more specifics such as tab completion. :) Patrick P.S Still have not heard back from Alex, he is alive making commits on github ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense.
