Recommendation - Zsh vs FishShell. Scripting, productivity and poweruser perse [closed]

Tags:

bash

shell

zsh

fish

I have spent sometime trying to pick one, on net comparisons are for zsh vs bash and fish vs bash. But, I could not find any comparison for zsh vs fish. I program in C and C++, apart from hello-world types, never done any major scripting. But now trying my hands at python and shell-scripts. Which shell keeps more juice in terms of productivity first and then development? Or in the end, the power and usability of any shell comes to its _rc files. So am I good enough with bash?
