Use something like https://www.nushell.sh/ instead of bash

Wrapping just so a justfile is available only inside a devshell (via --justfile option)? It would be useful to generate the justfile from Nix to provide Nix dependencies.

You can provide those Nix dependencies in the Nix shell.

A just DSL is Nix is a viable idea, but it should have to be possible to replicate all of its features (*ARGS for example, or parallel processes when they add that in future) without having the user to learn more syntax.
