Thanks for pointing this out. I've looked at rash before, when you or
someone else has mentioned it on-list.
The thing that I really enjoyed about scsh was that it was convenient in
a different direction from rash, which aims to be nice to use
interactively. Scsh didn't aim for interactive use -- it was purely for
scripts -- but it provided really well thought-out bindings for lots of
POSIX, plus sane syntax (and a fast start-up), so that it was a _very_
effective alternative to sh scripts. Unfortunately scsh last got some
love about five years ago [1].
It also has a sentimental attachment for me, because it was the first
Scheme implementation I played with.
Best wishes,
Norman
