instead of being stringly typed, many commands return tables or at least records. The goal is to eliminate most use of awk and instead just reference the row name.
You can also i.e. map over one row and keep the others intact, which already becomes harder in awk, so if you are stuck with learning a new language (awk vs nu), nu allows you to do it more cleanly
also has `map` function as a builtin, something that you obviously want in a shell that has piping. Much better than
myFunction | while real x; do
