Description
Goal: Beat ShellJS's 9M weekly downloads - our closest competitor with built-in commands
ShellJS Advantages:
- 20+ built-in commands vs our 18
- Mature ecosystem and documentation
- Template literal support in newer versions
Our Advantages to Leverage:
- ✅ Template literals (
$cmd``) vs function calls (shell.ls()) - ✅ Real-time streaming (vs buffered only)
- ✅ Virtual commands engine (revolutionary vs none)
- ✅ Mixed pipelines (vs basic piping)
- ✅ EventEmitter pattern (vs none)
- ✅ Async iteration (vs none)
- ✅ Advanced signal handling (vs basic)
- ✅ Public domain license (vs BSD-3-Clause)
Implementation:
- Add 2+ more built-in commands to match ShellJS (22 total)
- Add
$.shelljscompatibility mode - Create migration examples for all ShellJS commands
- Document streaming advantages over ShellJS buffering
- Show virtual commands solving ShellJS extension limitations
- Performance comparisons (streaming vs buffering)
Target Commands to Add:
tailcommand (streaming advantage obvious)headcommandsortcommanduniqcommand
Success Metrics:
- Feature parity + streaming advantage
- Complete migration documentation
- Performance benchmarks
