OriginalElvish
(Chat rooms are all bridged together thanks to Matrix.)
Elvish is:
A powerful scripting language.
A shell with useful interactive features built-in.
A statically linked binary for Linux, BSDs, macOS or Windows.
Elvish is pre-1.0. This means that breaking changes will still happen from time to time, but it's stable enough for both scripting and interactive use.
Documentation
User docs are hosted on Elvish's website, elv.sh. This includes how to install Elvish, tutorials, reference pages, and news.
Development docs are in ./docs.
Awesome Elvish packages and tools that support Elvish.
