I'm not very knowledgeable in this area as I don't do much shell scripting, but isn't zsh supposed to be some kind of enhancement over bash? Does it suffer from the same issues?

Regardless, the idea of a language that transpiles to bash is kinda interesting.

zsh is much better.

And it's not installed by default on all systems. It's especially not installed on systems like Alpine.

The point was never to "find a better shell." It was to run install (or other) scripts with some level of logic absolutely anywhere.

ZSH is basically the same thing. For all intents and purposes it is basically the same thing. The best attempt I’ve seen to truly make a better shell is Nushell.
