Some ideas/reminders/pointers: do not miss uiop:run-process and launch-process to run (a)sync programs; see cmd for an easier to use equivalent; see file-object-finder for a high-level lib around files (it handles file permissions). clawk replaces AWK.

To operate on files and directories, see UIOP and this new library: https://github.com/Ambrevar/fof (File Object Finder). You could start using the Lem editor and Lisp REPL, the Nyxt browser, this basic file manager (https://github.com/szos/CLFM), cmd to fire external commands (https://github.com/ruricolist/cmd).
A Lisp REPL as my main shell

There is https://github.com/ruricolist/cmd in particular which is very helpful.
I'm going to publish a few more libraries which should help with file manipulation (as I demoed it).
Stay tuned!

As for cmd, I just cloned it into local-projects, so it's the development version. This seems to be the line where exo is called and I don't think it's defined anywhere: https://github.com/ruricolist/cmd/blob/master/cmd.lisp#L374
