          Python is great for scripting, but the advantages of nu and powershell are the ease of interacting with system utilities and the availability of common commands like ls etc.

          of course, you can always do subprocess.run or os.listdir(), but that is not as simple as scripting in nu or powershell.

            This is true

            Although, i find this isn’t as much an issue if you use python’s STL as much as you can

            Pathlib and shutil are really handy for file manips

            But, yea interfacing with external CLI utilities like git is a PITA


            Oh there’s also xonsh which is just a shell built put of python
