Nushell commands are really great, so great that they are even better than the standard library of some languages. However, the language itself isn't very intuitive to learn.

I wish Nushell and Python/TypeScript have a baby one day.

well if you want a python/shell hybrid there's always xonsh (https://xon.sh/). Really great in particular for people like me who are bash-challenged. I do like Nushell too but I also always had problems remembering the actual language.

That would be nice. Or a TypeScript transpiler to rust ;)

I actually meant something like that with Nushell commands. They output structured data that Python and JavaScript can easily leverage in theory.
