I've been using fish for a while and have generally been very happy, I'm even working on creating a set of functions for ROS to integrate with fish the way it currently does with bash and zsh. My one tiny gripe is the way that if I

  set foo this that "the other"

then

  echo $faux; echo $faux[1]

doesn't produce anything, but

  echo $foo[4]

gives me an error message that I can't just pipe to /dev/null

Also, writing autocompletes for functions is both far simpler than in bash, but I'm also missing some of tools that bash provides.

That's very interesting, especially for people interested in using ROS as an educational platform.

It would be pretty amazing, considering the file resolution properties of ROS. I actually love it since I don't have to be in the same directory and it's easy to go through many projects.

Just curious what sort of work are you doing on ROS. Earlier this year I was working on simulation stuff in Gazebo.

I'm a robotics software engineer at Vecna, working on our QC Bot[1]. We use a combination of ROS and our own Java stuff for the robot system, and since I'm a long time fish user I started doing the port for my own use. I've been working on getting the patch into shape for actually going upstream in the 4 hours per week we get for community service, contributing to open source, etc.
