Process composition is one thing that shell languages do better than traditional programming languages

  There’s plenty of LISP packages that support process composition. Also LISPs syntax better suits write once type environments like REPL shells than your average C-derived syntax.

    Any examples? Searching for this is hard. What would `foo | bar | baz` look like in a lisp?

      Something like Clojure’s threading macro, probably: (-> (foo) (bar) (baz))
