Maybe I’m just not the target audience, but looking at the front page, I don’t see what actual problems this solves. The claims sound nice, but without examples of what they mean in real world use, it’s not really compelling.

I may be wrong, but it gives me some powershell vibe. Since it seems to be targeted for macOS, I would assume it "solves" the lack of powershell equivalent on Mac ?

On Mac and Linux you can use powershell core:

		Powershell 7+ (a long while ago named core) is the version you should use on ALL platforms, including Windows. It's just the most recent version. "Core" gives off a vibe that it is some limited thingy. It's not, it's full PS.

Murex works on a multitude of platforms, including Linux and Windows. But also a variety of UNIXs too.

It was actually first created before Powershell was available outside of Windows. But some of the design philosophies are fundamentally different to Powershell too. For example Murex is designed to work well with POSIX (bar the shell syntax itself), whereas Powershell reimplements most of the stack, including coreutils.

Agreed.

The nushell homepage, by comparison, immediately conveys the benefits of that project.
