Kudos to the Fish Devs

Just look at this monumental feat.

I gotta say, the dev team behind fish really seems to know how to dev. They:

• pulled off a rewrite
• care enough about their users to…
  • keep track of breaking changes and communicate them in great detail
  • understand when to break things vs deprecate them
• value POSIX compatibility while at the same time not allowing POSIX to ruin their project

etc.

Of course we’ll see for sure how well it turns out after a few point releases, but so far at least, it seems like they deserve a standing ovation. I wonder how old they are, because it looks to me like they have a lot of hard-won experience and discernment.^[1]
