It’s interesting to note that while no single idea is revolutionary, the design choices in putting together this bunch make for a particularly slick interface where the whole is much better than the usual shell.

PS: I look forward to trying this out! Since I don’t know much Common Lisp, are there particularly useful libraries that would make it easy to cover functionality commonly used through the shell? I’d love to see a tutorial with a compilation of examples. EDIT: Found some useful stuff in the CL cookbook (Eg. section on files & directories) https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/

The article presents a few libraries. There is https://github.com/ruricolist/cmd in particular which is very helpful.

I'm going to publish a few more libraries which should help with file manipulation (as I demoed it).

Stay tuned!

UIOP and Alexandria are very common. The former has a lot of functionality that you would normally expect out of a shell.
