    Now, it's only personal, but I like to fire one-off shell commandsโ€ฆ can we escape the Lisp REPL or not? If not, we could use a shell pass-through, for example "! ls" with clesh. Ruricolist's cmd is nice to have too. This is becoming an heresy, but what if we could fire a shell command and interpret its result with a Lisp function, or mix and match the two? Lish is doing an awesome work already, although it's a difficult field. Interactive commands like sudo and htop work there, at least. It ships a Lisp REPL and a debugger for the terminal too (similar to Roswell, then).

    Hi there. I'd enjoy help on anything web development for openbookstore: https://github.com/OpenBookStore/openbookstore (especially now: setting up i18n) Or, we could work on the terminal REPL experience for the CIEL meta-package: https://github.com/ciel-lang/CIEL/ We could use a better base like cl-repl or better yet, Lish.

    Clesh - extends Common Lisp to embed shell code in a manner similar to perl's backtick. (I read awesome-cl) It could ease the process to include external calls.
