This sounds interesting to me. It's a reminiscent of the notebook environments (think jupyter) in the sense that at any time you can access previous results. (but wouldn't preserve the consistency, AFAIU, i.e. if you re-run a previous command, it wouldn't affect later command's output (which may be desirable or not)) I wouldn't use this as my regular shell, I guess, but I imagine it fits quite well specific sessions where I experiment with building a processing pipeline: It would automate the saving of intermediate results. > Anyone knows some code where this is implemented already? unfortunately no. cheers --s
