What are some features of a shell interpreter that should not be overlooked? Another question: what characteristics should a sell language have?

• oil

  235 2,734 9.9 Python

  Oils is our upgrade path from bash to a better language and runtime. It's also for Python and JavaScript users who avoid shell!

  

Thanks! Also see https://github.com/oilshell/oil/wiki/Alternative-Shells for some ideas about what has been explored (probably more than you think). I'd say do something that hasn't been done :) Or just do it to learn, either way.

If wanna go beyond shells made for 1970, an important thing is to innovate. At the low-end at least part of idioms like in https://github.com/nushell/nushell and at hihg-end a completely different UI/widget paradigm like in https://www.rstudio.com.
