 [a few months ago](https://git.unix.dog/yosh/dotfiles/commit/8184b44fe4db724f1645cf6f8fd977550cb49f6e), I tried out the [yash shell](https://magicant.github.io/yash/). I gave it an honest go. I want to like it--it does so many things so well for a one man project; but there's just a few, very tiny, almost inconsequential hiccups that make it just out of reach for me to want to continue using it.
 
 this article is going to mostly be comparisons to the "standard" shell on most linuxes: bash--what yash does differently, what it does mostly the same, all the like.
