Why do you chose it instead of Perl or Python?

Python is often _too general purpose_. Everything you can do in Nushell you can do in Python except Nushell is just a bit more concise given it is specialized for being a shell language.

Nushell is cool also because it has inbuilt versions of `ls` etc. that output tabular data so it can do all kinds of fancy things with it.
