Dune is a shell designed for powerful scripting. Think of it as an unholy combination of
bashand Lisp.You can do all the normal shell operations like piping, file redirection, and running programs. But, you also have access to a standard library and functional programming abstractions for various programming and sysadmin tasks!
You must log in or register to comment.
Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should do it.
Pros and cons vs
eshell?This sounds very similar to “rash” which is based on racket
The name conflicts with the build tool used for ocaml, which is also called dune.
Might swap Kitty for this on my next install >.>
Kitty is the terminal emulator, the program that provides an interface. The shell you are using if you haven’t changed anything is probably bash. So you would use duneshell instead of bash, but still in kitty
Hell yeah, doing this right now on my work laptop.
But Kitty is ‘just’ the emulator right? It doesn’t have a shell by itself.
Yeah it is just my terminal emulator and this is specifically a bash+lisp shell. That wouldnt prevent me from attempting to use it the same on my first try like the special boi I am.
So you can keep Kitty, just swap the shell you have it start by default (probably not a good idea to swap to this system-wide)
I know just enough about Linux (arch BTW) to get myself in trouble so idk if that would be a good idea.
