What about fish??
What about Nushell? What about csh and tcsh, ash and dash? What about xonsh? What about PowerShell Core?
All good points. Except powershell. Fuck that.
I agree, just wanted to extend the list lol
But you can’t believe how utterly I hate this piece of shit that dares to call itself a shell. God damn, the Microsoft employees who proposed this retarded idea deserve the most extreme form of torture.

they need to use powershell at work, so i guess they are already getting tortured
Fair enough. But I have really terrible memories of the time when I was a Windows admin and had to use this garbage. I still want revenge from those fuckers who designed this crap.
xonsh- python powered shellYeah I mentioned that one
Oh yeah. I stopped reading your comment when I hit Dash assuming no one would mention xonsh. Teach me to jump to conclusions!
Which is being rewritten in rust
*has been
Not rolled out yet though
I get that it’s a joke, but that’s a revolver, which doesn’t take shells.
What? Revolver rounds absolutely do have shells if you mean in the sense of synonym for casing, or if you mean in the strict military sense then usually they don’t, but they’re just as capable of firing small shells as any other modern firearm.
I mean in the technical sense, so shells ≠ cartridges, and sure they might be capable of it, but it is not really a thing that happens often enough for it to be a normal thing.
I guess, it just seems odd to me to correct a meme for using a term in way that’s absolutely vital for both the rhyme and the pun to actually happen and not even really wrong, just weird if you over-analyze it.
It’s not even over-analyzing. A revolver does not take shells; they use cartridges, which are not shells. That’s just a simple fact.
Uh, no. No it’s not. You can have a cartridge that fires a shell instead of a bullet. That is totally a thing.
One that is designed for revolvers, not shotguns? (And yes, I know about revolver shotguns, but those are mainly just a gimmick and not really ever used in most contexts. I’m talking about handgun revolvers.)
Okay. I see the problem here. Shell doesn’t mean shotgun round. Bullet and shell are technical terms for the bit of a round that comes out of the business end of a weapon at high velocity. A bullet is a single, simple solid mass that follows a ballistic trajectory and just imparts kinetic force into whatever it hits. A shell is anything more complicated than that. Shotguns are just the small arms weapons that are most likely to use shells, but anything can, and it doesn’t have to be buckshot to be a shell. Even something as simple as a tracer round is technically a shell.
He’s a wizard, the revolver is actually firing shrunken 16 inch HE shells.
Lol.
What would you say a .410 revolver fires?
Love…bucket loads of pure love
Honestly the one thing I hate about any interpretation of magic especially in the modern era is the lack of mixing
Imaging how cool a mix between magic and tech would be
Like a super computer the size of a smartphone due to like a pocket dimension
I’m sure there’s better ideas I’m just not creative enough to find them
Have you read Discworld?
I haven’t but I’ve heard about it
Does it have things of that nature cause that makes me tempted to read it
Shadow wizard exploit gang, we love popping shells
You shall not pass, motherfucker!
What about the old friends csh and tcsh?
