Maybe there was a clear separation 30 years ago, but there no longer is. The shortcut for the posts below is that you can write a Lisp in all of shell, awk, and make (and sed too) [1] I won't get to this in Oil (without help) but I still think it's valid. The languages have so much overlap that they should just be combined. Of course that's what Perl was (leaving out Make), but Raku and Python 3 seem to have left a hole in that design space.
