Schemesh is an innovative approach that combines the capabilities of the Unix shell with the interactive nature of a Lisp Read-Eval-Print Loop (REPL). This integration is aimed at streamlining command line interactions through powerful Lisp operations, enabling a more expressive and programmable environment compared to traditional shell scripting. The discussion raises comparisons with similar projects like Scsh and various pipe implementation techniques across programming languages like Elixir, Gleam, and Haskell. While Elixir and Gleam provide convenience in function calls, Haskell's monadic approach offers robust error handling and execution guarantees.
