I have been using es (by Paul Haahr and Byron Rakitzis)
for quite some years on unix, although effectively I did not use
most of its more advanced features.
"Es is an extensible shell. The language was derived from the Plan 9
shell, rc, and was influenced by functional programming languages,

install 9base [0] which is part of the Suckless project.

if it's Byron Rakitzis' rc, it's not a `port' to UNIX of Plan 9's rc,
but an independent implementation, with differences in the language,

with them). :) And so far I like the rc look-and-feel (by look I mean
