shh is a really cool package, and so is turtle and shelly:

shh's "Alternatives" section summarises nicely some of the differences between these:

shh has a neat [fmt| ... |] macro that gets you around escaping strings.
shh generally has more Template Haskell support; you may or may not like this.
I am personally leaning towards shh because of its "native pipe style".
Those of you who use (or used) this as your shell: care to share your experience?
It seems a lot less full-featured than https://xon.sh/, but maybe you don't need a lot of bells and whistles for regular usage. I mostly run build, execute, and install commands.
I'm somewhat enticed at the possibility of being able to wrap common executables into forms that are typed (like nushell or elvish) and manipulate them in a way that leverages the type checker.
Huh, I was just tinkering with the same sort of thing with the same motivations but with F#:

Thanks for this, I’m going to borrow a lot of your concepts, especially the added infix operators, those are slick!
