I’m not the biggest fan of bash either, there’s a reason I use fish, though I also like elvish for interactive use (though it’s rather young all things considered) and in maybe going to use YSH for my next script project as that shell is very small (2MB or so) and yet makes sense.
No, but I feel bad when I need to deploy a big package for a bit of scripting.
For example, nushell is about 160 MB installed… which I find a bit much. It’s fine on my desktop, but I also have machines where this would be a significant addition.

2 MB is every small indeed. Is there a reason you need such a small binary? Some kind of embedded scenario? Small device? RAM is expensive? 😅
