  • Wren

    The Wren Programming Language. Wren is a small, fast, class-based concurrent scripting language.

  • Have you looked at Wren? Being embeddable is a primary use case.

  • oil

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

  • Why would I use this instead of Oil, which is older(and probably more mature), has more momentum, and (imo) has a much better gameplan for actually supplanting bash?

  • Shell-DSL

    A Raku module that provides a shell-like experience for running external commands and redirecting their I/O's. A command's standard output can be captured, and commands can be connected to form a pipeline easily.

  • Reminds me of https://github.com/kjkuan/Shell-DSL, which integrates shell scripting sugar syntax similar to Hush in Raku without implementing a brand new language.
