<p>Unix shell is a successful tool with millions of users, so there isn't a single
answer. Here are a few.</p>
<p>(1) As of 2022, we have <a href="//www.oilshell.org/blog/2022/07/release-0.11.0.html">real people to
pay</a>. Donations <strong>will be</strong> converted to
working, open-source code!</p>
<iframe src="https://github.com/sponsors/oilshell/card" title="Sponsor oilshell" height="225" width="600" style="border: 0;"></iframe>
<p>(2) <a href="/cross-ref.html?tag=osh-language#osh-language">OSH</a> is the most <a href="/cross-ref.html?tag=bash#bash">bash</a>-compatible shell, by a
mile. As of 2025, there's no doubt this can be "finished", but we need help
with the remaining bits.</p>
<ul>
<li>Out of <a href="https://github.com/oilshell/oil/wiki/Alternative-Shells">dozens of alternative
shells</a>, Oils is the
<strong>only</strong> one that provides a smooth ugprade path from shell.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>(3) <a href="/cross-ref.html?tag=YSH#YSH">YSH</a> is a <a href="/release/latest/doc/ysh-tour.html">brand new shell
language</a> with Python-like
expressions on typed data, Ruby-like blocks, and more. It's designed to be
familiar, powerful, and reliable. It can be used for everything shell is used
for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cloud / Distributed Computing — with interactive speed, <a href="//www.oilshell.org/blog/2021/07/blog-backlog-2.html">not
mainframe speed</a>!</li>
<li>System Administration, especially for
<a href="https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted">self-hosting</a></li>
<li>Scientific computing / Data Science</li>
<li>Web Publishing</li>
<li>... and more</li>
</ul>
