Oils is our upgrade path from bash to a better language and runtime.
Oils is our upgrade path from bash to a better language and runtime. Compared to POSIX shell and bash, Oil is easier to learn, write, and debug. It's designed for programmers who know Python, JavaScript, or Ruby, but avoid shell. Oil will do everything bash can, and more. For example, it will have dynamic types and structured data, not just strings.
