The idea is:
Nushell is a shell with stricter typing made for data processing.
It works best with structured data such as json/yaml. Its pipelines fit the data model of n8n quite well and it would enhance the ux for me significantly, allowing me to write workflows more succinctly.
My use case:
Almost anywhere I would have to go for a JS node at the moment, I could achieve the same in less LOC with cleaner and more readable syntax.
I think it would be beneficial to add this because:
My standard selling point fo nu is as follows:
How often do you write a shell script just to realize you would need a more powerful language with arrays or proper functions? You then rewrite in python, which works but introduces a lot of syntactical overhead.
Nu perfectly fills this gap for me. Easy to write, easy to debug, easy to read.
Any resources to support this?
Are you willing to work on this?
Not primarily, I could help someone else, but I have no exp. with TS and only little time to spare.
