EYG has released a significant update that improves its practicality as a shell scripting alternative, featuring proper documentation of its text syntax and new filesystem effects in the CLI. The update makes it easier to write useful shell scripts and brings the project closer to its goal of being 'a better bash'. The improvements include better parser error messages and support for both text-based and structural editor approaches to writing EYG programs.
Background
EYG is an experimental programming language and shell environment that aims to provide a modern alternative to traditional shell scripting with better tooling and error handling. It supports both a structural editor and text-based programming approaches.
