    • du –exclude glob
    • calendar <tab> alias panics
  • Revisiting XDG

Discussed Topics

new release

Normal level of new issues -> no point release warranted so far
known issues seem QoL problems that can be resolved in the regular work

config dir location: XDG

Sophia reencountered the sentiment pro-XDG on twitter

  • platform specific standard seems to expands to more tools/platforms
  • a lot of attempts

Darren: still the login-shell chicken-egg problem

General sentiment: let's implement for the config

login-shell is a different beast

-> among our developers it is a fraction that regularly runs nu as a tru login shell
-> Survey 30% replied to the question
-> among the team kubouch, ian, and wind have serious nu-login shell experience

lightning round - Plugins

  • WASM plugins?
    • nushell if it contains the wasm runtime would need to grant a lot of permissions for plugins to access relevant system functionality we would expect plugins to provide
  • plugin protocol evolving should allow more flexible plugin design (server style plugins, execution of closures)
    • could also use different runtimes itselfs
