Oil is a new Unix shell!
It's our upgrade path from GNU bash to a better language and runtime.
It's for Python and JavaScript users who avoid shell.
After dozens of releases going back to 2017, the project is pretty mature. There have been 51 contributors, but we need more help!
So I'm asking for sponsors to pay others to work on Oil (not to pay me, andychu). In particular, we need the help of a "professional" compiler engineer to make Oil fast. I believe that paying a competitive salary will attract the right person!
Here are details, which I will elaborate on: wiki/Compiler Engineer Job
We may also use these funds to hire a technical writer to work on the documentation.
If you're not sure if you should contribute, you may want to read Why Create a New Shell? and posts tagged #FAQ.
Out of dozens of alternative shells, Oil is the only one that's a smooth upgrade from POSIX shell and bash.
