Show HN: Lambda 0.2 – a func language better than TypeScrip, jq and jQuery

Nushell is a lot more than a simple shell script, it's a full programming language. Certainly no markup support builtin though.

Unless I'm misunderstanding nushell has a type system and is strongly/gradually typed. And there is pattern matching too, though unsure what you mean by schema support?

thanks for pointing out. I did not notice that nushell has pattern matching. for schema support, I mean something like RelaxNG, or XML Schema.

I agree that Nushell is close to a full programming language.

Lambda has first-class type support. Type can be constructed like data at runtime under Lambda, which is more powerful than most programming languages.
