How to pass arguments to script?

[jamespo]

I've skimmed the docs but can see how hush gets args the way bash puts them in $1, $2 etc?

script.hsh arg1 arg2 arg3

Ideally it would support a more powerful argument parser, like argparse in python or getopt.

I was also looking for this. Ideally a newer shell would have argument parsing support that surpasses that of previous shells. For example for the Oil shell they are thinking in this direction: oils-for-unix/oils#469

another question is how to do assignments to variables.
Is also let var = ... needed to have a faster path or is the more convenient/hacky var = ... possible?

It looks like std.args() is what you need.

for item in std.iter(std.args()) do
    std.print(item)
end

Correct, std.args() is the way to obtain an array of command line arguments. If you need more elaborate argument parsing, it can be implemented as a library in pure Hush.
