One area where fish is excellent is IMO interactive shell scripting. No more case..esac and friends. Fish adopts a python-like syntax that makes it ridiculously easy to write loops fast in the terminal.

I agree with you. I mostly just read the title and then the comments, especially if I know a thing or two about the subject.

Partially off topic but I personally use the FOSS android app "Materialistic" to access HN. It offers a much better comment navigation experience than ynewscombinator.

I can't understand why you are mentioning awk. Cut or choose cannot be compared to awk, awk is a programming language.

Also I don't think that it's so much easier to use than cut. On the other hand every *nix system has cut so if you make scripts with it they are portable.

So you're forced to learn a new language? I was obliged to write code for a university project in Kotlin instead of Java.

Most of the code was already written in Java. So I just used the tool to convert to Kotlin. Then I tried to infer how Kotlin works based on the generated code to write the rest. I don't feel proud about that project.

I am trying to improve my web development skills by writing a chat application. I will implement saving messages to the database next.

Also I want to learn something ml-ish probably play with opencv or pytorch.
