• Google ZX – A tool for writing better scripts

  Friends, I'm not saying that tools like zx are not good. I do like to write some scripts using js/ts. I believe pythoners prefer https://xon.sh/ . Perl is also attractive and interesting. Fish is friendly. However, I still believe that posix-shell has its own advantages. The balance among size, code length, and expressiveness. I think the only possible competitors are tcl and perl, maybe lua. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• The bash book to rule them all

  Sorry for the hijack, but I've been using xonsh[1] since 2018. It's a shell with Python syntax. If you dislike Bash scripting, and know Python, please consider this! [1] https://xon.sh/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Shh: Simple Shell Scripting from Haskell

  Those of you who use (or used) this as your shell: care to share your experience? It seems a lot less full-featured than https://xon.sh/, but maybe you don't need a lot of bells and whistles for regular usage. I mostly run build, execute, and install commands. I'm somewhat enticed at the possibility of being able to wrap common executables into forms that are typed (like nushell or elvish) and manipulate them in a... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Marcel the Shell

  In that case, is it even more similar to xonsh? https://xon.sh/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• fish-shell: the user-friendly command-line shell

  Not to hijack, but also consider xonsh[1]. It's Python based, and all your scripts can be Python (or hybrid-Python). I've been using it for both Windows and Linux for over 5 years. [1] https://xon.sh/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• macOS Finder is still bad at network file copies

  Forklift (https://binarynights.com/) and Path Finder (https://www.cocoatech.io/) are the two big ones I think. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Double Commander – Changes in version 1.1.0

  If you're on Mac, you might also want to try Forklift – by coincidence, they just release major version 4 yesterday. https://binarynights.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Total Commander

  There are couple which will have two panels by default, but in my opinion, ForkLift is very native macOS commander-like app -- https://binarynights.com. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Finder alternatives for performance?

  Forklift is what I use though never with that many files in a single directory. I know I have used it for ones that had 1000+ files with no slowness. It has a free trial so give it a try. Source: about 1 year ago

• DESKTOP2 – A Graphical User Interface for DOS

  Heh, I've been there as well a decade ago when switching from windows to macos. Far manager was also the first program I'd also install on any box. I can assure you, this will eventually pass :) To be fair, far is also not a match to modern file browsers like https://binarynights.com (forklift), especially if you need s3 integration etc. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
