Simple tools, fewer abstractions—inviting everyone to tinker & build. What’s worth building? For me: empathy and reworking our urban environments for humans.

Once you realize the web is really just a giant game / graphics engine that gives you a DSL for content, and a DSL for styling, and a scripting language for anything extra...it all kinda starts to make sense.

the "scripting" language is the escape hatch for the cases the DSLs can't handle.

With 0.108.0, you can now get the response metadata, while still streaming the response body! www.nushell.sh/blog/2025-10...

I think the closest thing would be to structure your binary so it could also run as a Nushell plugin

```
ln -s ur-bin nu_plugin_ur-bin
```

you binary would detect when it's been run this way and act as a plugin. you could then emit rows: but they would have to run through msgpack for ipc

Nushell is awesome, because pipeline processing is awesome. combining small clis interactively, getting immediate feedback. POSIX allows you assemble pipelines too, but it doesn't scale well. Nu's combination of closures; structure pipeline data; let you go further with this style processing.

yeah. well, they're awesome. but installing them, configuring them, and keep them up to date is awkward
