@alexbuzzbee structured, typed data, maybe JSON for program in- and output. mostly depends on the programs called, though. but then the shell could use actual types

@clonejo @alexbuzzbee Seems like lots of people would like PowerShell when this topic comes up.

@ndegruchy @clonejo Honestly PowerShell is pretty nice. Can’t use it in LENS because .NET is far too heavy to port, but the concepts have gone in to a certain extent.

It seems to embrace a lot of the structured-data points from PowerShell https://github.com/nushell/nushell/blob/master/README.md

@alexbuzzbee> Wishlist items for a command-line shell (not POSIX/Unix-like)?* print command output without advancing the screen/cursor (#plan9/Eshell style)* very good auto-complete support (including for subcommands)* Good integration with a lisp as a scripting language* extremely fast startup timesProbably others that aren't coming to mind right now

@mdhughes @alexbuzzbee> Just update and rerelease Scheme Shell.Have you tried out #gash (guile as shell)? https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/gash/I haven't, but it's on the list—a lot of the same advantages as the original scsh

@codesections @alexbuzzbee Not yet, but it seems to be a build tool more than a shell so far? And even tho Gash is a non-GNU project, I stay away from Guile because it is GNU.It really wouldn't be hard to write some process-control utilities for a Scheme with a good REPL (so, Chez, not Chicken). I'd want some way to save sessions, too, rather than editing history files to retrieve functions I've written.#Scheme

@mdhughes Here is my wish: the ability to move the cursor in the #shell command line by just clicking on the target character. Not for me, but for other begginers. Your wishes are also interesting. @codesections @alexbuzzbee

@xdej Haha, thanks! I've already seen it. Also, I'd rather stay on the side of minimalism that does not fall into asceticism.
