>The next step up would then be a REPL shell. I had been juggling the idea of using a modified REPL for shell work, but I haven't written much code. However, someone has written such a shell, namely Avesh[0]. Check out the Reddit comments as well [1]. I haven't used it yet, but the examples seem to fit what I would want in a Common Lisp shell: * Simple sh-like commands with flags (e.g. ls -o, grep -i) * Handling commands and piping as native CL functions (e.g. | (| ls (grep c))(grep r) ).
