In our TechRadar Spring 2025 edition we highlighted the IntelliJ HTTP client and Bruno as alternatives to Postman, and also introduced you to Nushell. This post will focus on the latter.

The goal of Nushell is to take the Unix philosophy of shells, where pipes connect simple commands together, and combine it with a rich programming language. Nushell connects both by bringing a rich programming language and a full-featured shell together into one package, that runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Nushell uses structured data everywhere, for example output of ls command, or REST API calls.
