The impression I got is that it is still using traditional unix tools and pipes under the hood so I would expect the same efficiency as now. I think the big difference here is the syntax. Traditional shells are great if you have a linear dataflow where each program has one standard input and one standard output. However, if you want to have programs receiving multiple inputs from pipes or writing to multiple pipes then the `|` syntax is not enough.
