Thanks for pointing it out. I've tried both as interactive shells for a few minutes. Murex seems to have a more minimalist approach that works well as a drop-in replacement.
However, I have trouble understanding some design decision, such as inventing redundant keywords. And I've spotted bugs in boths (e.g. ls --literal fails in nu, and the completion proposes it twice in Murex).

Wasn't Murex some sort of backend software for financial institutions?

Still is. It's a French/Lebanese corp based in Paris/Beirut. I worked there for a few years early in my career.

What happened to the convention that shell names end in sh? There are:
grep sh$ /usr/share/dict/words | wc -l
1959
options available; surely we haven't exhausted them all?!
Maybe I’m just not the target audience, but looking at the front page, I don’t see what actual problems this solves. The claims sound nice, but without examples of what they mean in real world use, it’s not really compelling.

I may be wrong, but it gives me some powershell vibe. Since it seems to be targeted for macOS, I would assume it "solves" the lack of powershell equivalent on Mac ?
Powershell 7+ (a long while ago named core) is the version you should use on ALL platforms, including Windows. It's just the most recent version.
"Core" gives off a vibe that it is some limited thingy. It's not, it's full PS.

This looks interesting, I will consider switching if it's not sluggish like zsh was that one day I tried it.
