    SHell in Common Lisp

  • I have plans to develop a shell that handles both POSIX shell script and common-lips, likely by simply passing the s-expressions to a REPL such as sbcl, but as I am very new to common-lisp I know that I will not having something fully working anytime soon, I am okay with that all is fun in learning right? I have, however, been hankering to find a new shell recently that can at least provide me with the basics of what I plan to create, a simple shell that can handle POSIX scripting and common-lisp interactively. For this I did some research and read this blog post. I have looked around at different dual shells and found that shcl and yew seem to be the most promising for my temporary use until my own shell is ready. My question here is, has anyone used either of these extensively? I am not expecting something that can give me what zsh does, I only use it for syntax highlighting anyway lol, but rather if either of these shells would be on par, interactively, with something like ksh (the shell I am most use too) i.e. basic tab completion, customizable prompt and anything else is a bonus. Does anyone here have experiences with stress testing either of these shells?
