Great work. Some feedback
* POSIX is all caps: should be fixed at fish site too
* uninstalling: note that /usr/local/bin is the default directory. Users
should definitely verify fish is actually there before `rm -rf`
* I did not know about `man fish_command`: +1
* Dates:
* this is not fish-specific at all. Why is it here? Perhaps move it to
the Extras section
* `strftime` is not a command, it is a system library function for
writing C code.
I cannot speak to the intent of the fish designers, but fish seems to have
borrowed (in the best sense of the word) some ideas from the Tcl language.
Particular the idea of `command subcommand args...`. It's interesting to
compare [the fish string command](
https://fishshell.com/docs/current/commands.html#string) with [the Tcl
string command](https://tcl.tk/man/tcl8.6/TclCmd/string.htm). Tcl was one
of my very first languages, and I have an enduring love for it: seeing
Tcl-ish tendencies growing in fish warms my heart.
