#2I've been meaning to implement something like this for a while, but couldn't find the time to do it. It is nice to know that it's already done! I'm going to check it out.

#3Author here, thanks for posting. The project is still very early in the development and there is a lot of work to be done to make it ready for daily use.
I would appreciate any feedback. What are the less known features of existing shells you really like? What things would you change about existing shells if you could?

Looking at the examples given, it's more like Powershell, but with better compatibility with existing Unix text-based tools. Which is awesome.

You may also be interested in looking at https://www.oilshell.org/ . Like yours, it's an effort to make a 'better bash', and he has a lot of posts discussing various aspects of Bash syntax and shells in general, and how to improve them.

Awesome project, and absolutely well motivated. I would love a shell that improves on bash with sane syntax.
I'd suggest swapping stage 3 and stage 2 -- environment vars and signal and job control are more important (IMO) than everything in stage 2, and may affect the syntax more as well.

Is there a way I can automatically import libraries?
Also, what's the current status on autocompletion features?
By the way, very nice work!

I really like this idea and I really like Clojure. Though I'm curious about performance. And do you know if anyone is doing something similar with Racket? (Looks like there is a Common Lisp shell http://www.cliki.net/CLISP-Shell)

Yeah, Oil shell is great. I got a lot of inspiration and learn how things work by reading those posts. I try to tackle it by a different approch by leveraging Clojure syntax for the programming bits but keeping things compatible for the command execution uses.
