This is the point of Oil -- having a smooth upgrade from bash. The interactive shell ended up being more work than I anticipated. So I'm looking for people who want to run with it either as a separate project or part of Oil.

Another option is to link Oil as a C++ library into another shell, which is starting to become possible. Oil handles all the difficult language and compatibility issues, and encapsulates them, so it's a great complement to someone who only wants to work on the interactive shell.
Even though it cleans up many legacy warts, Oil runs thousands of lines of real bash programs: https://github.com/oilshell/oil/wiki/Shell-Programs-That-Run-Under-OSH https://github.com/oilshell/oil/wiki/Shell-Programs-That-Run...
