Thanks for the link! I like how the sources look (much cleaner than the original plan9 rc), I like the way the addons work with this rc implementation and in general the project makes good impression. Sad that it doesn't have many stars on github, and doesn't have a nice readme yet (I see it is about to be added in the developer branch). I find doubtful the support of multiple readline-like libraries (and no linenoise though) though. I would rather prefer to have one, but fully supported (with custom completion etc like in zsh). I still need to check how this feature could be added.

The multiple line edit versions is a feature since there are many non-Linux systems out there where readline was not present, supplanted by the native one, or was a pain in the neck to build. A small, statically-linked shell with rational syntax is very nice.
