Good point about bindings and completion scripts. Binding commands themselves are not big problems, the problem is replicating readline commands, there are loads of those. I'm not sure how much work one needs to do to implement things like extended globbing, but my gut feeling is that once you can parse them it's more than half done. The functionalities are quite simple, as my impression goes. I was mainly thinking about environment variables, aliases and wrapper functions when I said sourcing bashrc; that's probably what most people's bashrc files are mostly made of. We totally should revive our alternative shells thread! I'll try to summarize my progress in the last year. Congrats on your progress with Oil too! ^_^
