I wonder if you included a JS REPL/console in your terminal if you'd hit an interesting enough hybrid. Something like Puppeteer/Playwright where you can spin up headless Chrome instances from the terminal, interact with them and automate them in JS. Treat the JS as a mini shell script language in your terminal of choice. I'm almost surprised there isn't yet a terminal that is an intentional JS-hybrid where you can REPL JS and/or directly shell script in it (beyond just Node scripts). Probably not entirely worth the time to build such Rube Goldberg contraptions, but an interesting thought experiment at least.
