Is

for i in 1..10 {

    print $i
}

really all that more readable than

for i in {1..10}; do

    print $i
done

Like, am I taking crazy pills? They're basically exactly the same!

It depends on where you're coming from.

To myself, I agree, but to a Windows native power user, the latter looks confusing.

Imagine though, if we shell-heads came over to Windows and started writing an entirely new shell to replace Powershell because we didn't want to learn Powershell. It's just so utterly bizarre to me. I guess people like what they like, and that's cool, but wanting to rip out a 40+ year old scripting environment and command line shell because it doesn't look like goddamn Ruby or Clojure or Rust or whatever is just intolerable.
