    I don’t want to start a holy war. but they say it should bring more contributors and a more fun programming language should mean more contributions but contribution metrics on openhub show no meaningful improvement IMO.

    Fish is a great shell, but whenever I SSH into another machine I end up having to do everything in Bash anyway. So the fact that Fish is so different often ends up being a detriment, because it means I have to remember how to do things in two different shells. It was easier to just standardize on Bash.

    I might try daily driving it again when this release hits the stable repos, I dunno.

      They call that out as an improvement with the rust switch. You can now just scp a single binary over and have fish without even needing to install it
