This is almost exactly what I have dreamed with a shell. I'm building a relational language (http://tablam.org http://tablam.org) with the plan of something alike. Some extra ideas: - Tables are amazing. But I think we need at least support for this "shapes" of data: List, Tables, Trees and maybe graphs - I think will be nice to have an equivalent of Request/responses alike http. And then a way to introspect what a command do, like auto-swagger. - Having widgets like table-browser, graphs, etc AS COMPONENTS. In FoxPro you could say "browse" and it display a DataTable grid with full editing capabilities on the current table (or it ask for a table to open). In this case: ls | ui_browse The key here is that the widgets work stand-alone, so is not necesary to fully build a terminal app just to see nicely data. Look like https://goaccess.io https://goaccess.io and more like this idea: https://github.com/sqshq/sampler https://github.com/sqshq/sampler This mean we could get a jupyter-like experience here! - Some way to do curryng and maybe environment alias: You could setup an environment for the system, the user, this directory. In the environment is a .toml with vars and stuff. The other thing where I think shells fail... is that are still old-style terminal. Having text output is cool, but having more rich widget system will unlock better the potential
