Wouldn't it just be better to make a new shell that has this syntax?

- eyelidlessness 5y agoBetter in that you can use it directly, not necessarily great for interop. I love Fish shell, but it can be a pain when trying to use tools that expect posix syntax to work.
- hnlmorg 5y agoThere's already a plethora of shells that fit that domain: + Nu Shell + NGS + Powershell + Oil Shell + Elvish + Murex (which is one I'd written) Not to mention all the LISP, Python, and other such high level language REPLs come shells. But they solve a different problem. This seems to be more like what Typescript is to Javascript: a alternative "safer" language where your end point is limited to supporting a different language. So you need to compile down to a known portable base language.
