Same task. Less noise.
PowerShell Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Filter *.cs
Jitzu find -ext cs
PowerShell $obj | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name
Jitzu obj.name
PowerShell try { } catch [System.Exception] { $_ }
Jitzu let val = risky()?
Bash result=$(cmd) && echo $result
Jitzu let result = cmd(); print(result)
Bash everything is a string
Jitzu Int, String, Bool, Result<T, E>, Option<T>
60+ built-in commands
The Shell
Everything you need at the prompt.
Tab Completion
Files, commands, variables, and types — all completable with Tab.
Typed Pipes
Pipe OS command output into Jitzu functions. Types flow through the pipeline.
History & Search
Ctrl+R reverse search, arrow-key predictions, and a git-aware prompt.
Directory Labels
Name your directories.
Use them everywhere.
No symlinks. No drive mapping. No editing fstab. Just give a directory a name and use it as a path prefix — in cd, ls, cat, anywhere.
Works as a path prefix: cd git:jitzu/site
Tab completes label names and paths after the colon
Saved to your config — available in every session
The Language
Oh, it's also
a full language.
Rust's enums. C#'s runtime. TypeScript's ergonomics. Compiled to bytecode, running on .NET's VM.
Pattern matching
Match on types, destructure fields, guard with conditions.
Result<T, E> and the ? operator
Propagate errors without try/catch. Compose fallible operations.
Traits and impl blocks
Define shared behavior, implement it on any type.
Types with type inference
Define types with pub fields. Types are inferred from context.
NuGet packages
Import any .NET package with a single line.
