Converting Command Line Output to JSON with Nushell

Nushell

Nushell is pretty great.

It’s a new shell that has as its biggest selling point the fact that pipes are inherently structured.

I’ve been playing around with version 0.13.0 and was able to find a few rough edges. But I really will be using this in the future.

Often, I am torn between writing scripts in Bash or Python. Python is obviously much saner for bigger tasks. But Bash operates nicely with the POSIX world and pipes are just great. Nushell looks like a great replacement of Bash (or equivalent) where data is not just raw lines of text.
