Shell scripts were a mistake. The weirdness you have to remember to safely stop executing when something fails is mind-boggling.

nushell scripts aren't shellscripts?

I usually write “POSIXy shell” but I thought that was clear from context this time.

The problem is that exit statuses !=0 aren't treated as error by default (with a way to turn that off for individual expressions). Instead you have to set multiple settings and avoid certain constructs in bash/ZSH/...

Everything that works like a modern programming language by default is fine of course
