This makes me excited for some kind of cljs shell. I sincerely dislike bash syntax. I've looked into scheme shell (scsh), but it wasn't that interesting. There's already Planck, which is a quick starting cljs repl. If closurescript can work in excel surely it can thrive as a shell replacement/enhancement.

Have you tried fish? I really like it, both to script and to use interactively. Some examples: http://fishshell.com/docs/current/tutorial.html#tut_loops http://fishshell.com/docs/current/tutorial.html#tut_loops http://fishshell.com/docs/current/tutorial.html#tut_command_substitutions http://fishshell.com/docs/current/tutorial.html#tut_command_...

The problem for me is that everyone (on Linux/OSX at least) has a bash shell, so investing in learning any other scripting language seems a little futile. Would recomend ZSH + zprezto or Fish for day to day use though.

  It's nice to get your thoughts into form in a decently ergonomic shell like Fish and then port it afterwards to nasty old Bash. So definitely worth learning a better scripting language.

    This is true. I probably waste more time thinking about Bash than is useful

    "ergonomic" I'm fairly certain that word doesn't mean what you think it means. It's synonyms would be applicable though: well designed, usable, user-friendly; maybe even comfortable, although that seems like it'd be pushing it a bit.
