oil's idea is that you do want a shell language (e.g. if a lot of what your code is doing is job control and manipulating unix pipelines I can see shell being the best language to express that neatly in). you just want a better shell language than bash. but there is a ton of existing investment in bash itself and things like nushell their that away to start from scratch, and oil says what if we build a better bash instead.
