• on the lish shell

    From Johanne Fairchild@21:1/5 to All on Sun Aug 25 20:12:55 2024
    Has anyone ever tried lish? It's a shell based in Common Lisp. It
    looks nice, but also a bit unstable and likely with various corner
    cases. Nevertheless, it does seem interesting for someone learning the language because it will work as exercises in remembering procedure
    names and syntax. By using it a lot, it should help to improve my Lisp.
    Please share any experience with it if you have it.

    Beshidesh shounding like you’ve had too mush to drink, there is a
    fundamental problem with using a programming language as a shell/command language: a command language assumes everything is a literal string unless indicated otherwise, whereas a programming language (by which I include
    some “scripting” languages) assumes everything is a language construct unless quote characters indicate literal strings.

    You quickly find out why command languages are designed that way, when you
    try to use a programming language in their place.
