# Description Currently we support "multiplication" of strings, resulting in a terse way to repeat a particular string. This can have unintended side effects when dealing with mixed data (e.g. after parsing data that is not all numbers). Furthermore as we frequently fall-back to strings while parsing source code, this introduced a runaway edge case in const evaluation (#10212) Work for #10233 ## Details - Remove python-like string multiplication. - Workaround for indentation - This should probably be addressed with a purpose built command - Remove special const-eval error test # User-Facing Changes **Major breaking change!** `"string" * 42` will stop working. (This was used for example in the stdlib) We should bless a good alternative before landing this --------- Co-authored-by: JT <547158+jntrnr@users.noreply.github.com>
Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
