Some thoughts on designing a shell experience for PISC

  1. Most shells flow in a cmd args fasion, but doing this in PISC is difficult, unless some sort of delimiter is used
  2. Having a delimiter that is forced makes for a very interesting oppurtunity to have an interactive/exploratory shell line for dealing with flags that are usually arcane, by exposing what options have already been set in the stack display.
  3. . seems like a natural delimiter for this, | and && could also be used for pipelines and chains? . could be a shortand for .exec
  4. Vet with shell users?

    cd ".." .

    grep -n 5 <-A 5<-B "pattern" "filepath" .
