Compare yash with alternatives

• yash vs brushbrush is a Bash-compatible shell written in Rust under the MIT licence, so Bash knowledge carries over, though its compatibility may be incomplete and it is younger and less used.
• yash vs tcshtcsh is an enhanced C shell with command-line editing and completion, but its csh-style syntax differs from POSIX shells, so portable sh scripts will not run unchanged.
• yash vs GNU BashGNU Bash is the standard sh-compatible shell on most Unix-like systems, adding indexed arrays, job control and wide script compatibility, but it follows POSIX less strictly than yash.
• yash vs ksh 93u+mksh 93u+m continues the AT&T KornShell with ongoing fixes and runs existing ksh93 scripts, though it is mainly distributed as source and has a smaller community than Bash.
• yash vs MurexMurex handles JSON, YAML and CSV natively and adds error handling and script unit tests, but it is not POSIX compatible and has a smaller community.
• yash vs ElvishElvish offers a scripting language with lists, maps and early error checking as a single static binary, including Windows, but it is not POSIX compatible.
• yash vs XonshXonsh mixes Python 3 code with shell commands and runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, but its syntax is not POSIX, so existing scripts need changes.
• yash vs OilsOils provides OSH, a bash-compatible shell with stricter error checking, plus the new YSH language with JSON support. The project is still before a 1.0 release.
