@iamidly There are already a few shells out there that already do this. Such my own one:

- Inlining SQL: https://murex.rocks/docs/optional/select.html

- Selecting rows from a table (the docs doesn't cover all the usecases of `[` - I need to fix that): https://murex.rocks/docs/commands/index.html

There's also other shells like Elvish and Powershell that can do this kind of stuff too.

I raise this because if you're trying to plug a void in the market then I'd suggest you take a look at these first as they're already relatively mature and might solve the same problems you're trying to address.

However if this is just a hobby, a bit of fun to pass the evenings, then by all means carry on. As one shell author to another, it's a fun project to take on :)
