How to structure the article

[edit]

How about these main headlines:

  • design principles
  • interactivity
  • syntax differences from POSIX

Design principles would be very short, whereas the latter two would have subsections, divided thematically, approximately like the comment grouping in today's Translation table section. The current Syntax section's comments would be converted to prose. I feel this text could also say something about the problems it solves, or refer back to relevant design principles. The translation table would be chopped into tables in each subsection, with the comment column merged into the prose. 84.209.119.158 (talk) 23:18, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Friendly interactive shellfish shell – I looked on the fish website and nowhere did it refer to it as "Friendly interactive shell." That is what the name stands for but it is not what it is commonly referred to as. When the shell starts up it prints "Welcome to fish, the friendly interactive shell," but that is more of a description than the name of fish.
