  The "why" section is unfortunately empty, would be nice to learn where other shells are worse vs NGS

  The author's origin story compares bash and Python. But then there are python-based shells like xonsh, why wouldn't it be better to improve those vs having this new one?

  > curl https://ngs-lang.org/install.sh | bash

  What can go wrong ?

  POSIX ?

  This is ridiculous in my opinion.

  It is not for someone that wants a shell but for someone that wants a Javascript repl...
