Hello, my name is Jason, and I am a recent graduate in computer science, I am interested in new technologies and new ideas on how to approach recurring programs, especially in the field of user interfaces that I find rich and beautiful but also sometimes a little confusing, so I wander a little and let myself be carried away by the wind and see where it leads, at the moment I am very interested in system administration, I wondered if you would advise a beginner to use dagger shell as their default shell for daily tasks on Linux-type servers, and especially what would be the most advantageous contribution to this workflow that dagger shell offers in a neutral environment (without LLM, at home on their computer to Just do some basic tasks on their terminal)
#What is the primary focus of dagger ?

Hi, mind expanding a bit more about what your main concerns / use cases are?

Yes of course, just a little curious and a little lost 😅, I really liked the little presentation I saw on a little blog, the one presenting the dagger shell, and in the presentation I saw that there was a small part of the video where in dagger it was using shell commands like ls, etc..,, so I thought it was a new Unix-like shell a bit like Bash and zsh, but when I went to the official dagger website it didn't seem to me that this was the case, I saw that they talked a lot about containers and LLM, so when I saw the discord links, I thought I was going to find out a little and know a little about the direction, the philosophy and the target audience to which dagger is addressed, and also to see what are the use cases that could interest me in a systems administration framework.

I wrote about my initial learnings and understandings about Dagger and what it is all about at a higher level. Maybe it might help you to better understand Dagger's purpose.

If you were attracted to dagger shell's piping but are not interested in CI, which is dagger's historical focus, you could look into https://www.nushell.sh/

Thanks for sharing this well written article which I found very clear on the basic concept of dagger while being human friendly. 🙏

@pine bear yes, we're not aspiring to replace your daily-driver shell, but the Dagger Shell interface is a fun and powerful way to interact with the full Dagger API and Dagger modules written by you or the community 🙂
