The popular but aging shells (Bash and the like) suffer from many design flaws:

lack of structured data, pipes are hard-to-debug blackboxes, lack of

interactivity, while the user interfaces are mostly poor and limiting.

High time we moved on away from this cruft, starting with a top-notch

interactive language boasting full-fledged introspection and debugging.
