While I do like fish syntax, you don’t really need to learn it. You can just use it for your interactive use in the terminal while writing your scripts in bash.
This is the way. I’ve never even attempted to script anything in fish, but it’s just a great interactive shell OOTB. I think at most I have a colorscheme and an alias or 2.
Scripting in fish is so much better than bash, holy. Reduced my scripts’ LOC by probably 50% and made them actually legible when coming back to them 6 months later. I converted all my personal scripts from bash to fish.

Same experience here.
Converting my scripts from bash to fish has definitely been worth the time.
Yeah that’s what I do to, I don’t need to write complex scripts anyway. Fish’s syntax seems interesting though.
