    I've been happily using Nushell for a long time: https://github.com/nushell/nushell

    I would have posted this it you hadn't.

    I have it set as my default shell on my main machine, but it's not going anywhere near my servers! It's definitely the most fun shell I've used, and hopefully some more of the warts can be shaved off as it matures.

    It keeps introducing breaking changes so that I have to reset the config and re-add any custom configuration.

    It's not stable and therefore introduces breaking changes. They clearly mention this on their README.

    This project has reached a minimum-viable-product level of quality. Many people use it as their daily driver, but it may be unstable for some commands. Nu's design is subject to change as it matures.

    Had a discussion about this with one of the Nushell contributors, I am conflicted about it. I think the idea of it is somewhat amazing but also somewhat horrendous. I think the concept of this is a step in the right direction in terms of evolving the shell into something better than the traditional shell with concepts from more modern shells, but still has a way to go before adoption is more widespread. My 2c.

    I really don't care about them being in rust. Could we instead focus on something that rust aims to provide? Memory-bug-less? High quality? Performant? Dependency-free binary?

    But my:

    If there's not much in it, I'll go with the rust app because I like to use something I can see myself contributing to if the urge takes me.

    I know other languages, but there's no way I'm driving into a random C++ codebase unless I'm confident it's a trivial fix.

    I see these posts come up a lot actually, and I'm familiar with a lot of the ones you mention. What is like to see is a list of GUI apps that improve productivity in the same way many of your favourites here do.

    I haven't seen a bunch of these posts before, any cross references to aide in tool discovery?

    I have some Rusty GUI apps and will consider doing a list when I find more useful ones.

    From your list, I use bat, exa and rg.

    delta (sometimes packaged as git-delta) deserves a mention. I use it with this git configuration:

    [core]
      # --inspect-raw-lines=false fixes issue where some added lines appear in bold blue without green background
      # default minus-style is 'normal auto'
      pager = "delta --inspect-raw-lines=false --minus-style='syntax #400000' --plus-style='syntax #004000' --minus-emph-style='normal #a00000' --plus-emph-style='normal #00a000' --line-buffer-size=48 --max-line-distance=0.8"
    
    [interactive]
      diffFilter = "delta --inspect-raw-lines=false --color-only --minus-style='syntax #400000' --plus-style='syntax #004000' --minus-emph-style='normal #a00000' --plus-emph-style='normal #00a000' --line-buffer-size=48 --max-line-distance=0.8"
    
    [delta]
      navigate = true  # use n and N to move between diff sections
      light = false    # set to true if you're in a terminal w/ a light background color (e.g. the default macOS terminal)
    
    [merge]
      conflictstyle = diff3

    You know what, when I started the list I had delta but when I searched for it I got a different tool that didn't look right so I removed it, added this one back. Thanks for the added config!

    @projectdp wow a great list! I'm especially interested to try cross-platform ones. Thanks!

    Thank-you for this. I have a Google Alert for rust cli but many of these have been missed.
