Check out marcel: https://marceltheshell.org, and https://github.com/geophile/marcel. Both marcel and nushell start with the idea of piping structured data instead of strings, which is incredibly powerful. (This also applies to osh. I am the author of osh and marcel.)

Marcel (and osh) rely on Python types and language where typical shells have sublanguages. So instead of awk or find and their sublanguages, you just use Python. Instead of piping strings, you pipe streams of Python values.

Marcel lets you use Python on the commmand line. It also has an API which allows you to use shell-like commands inside of Python programs.
