terrycojones/daudin: A Python command-line shell edit / delete

"daudin is a UNIX command-line shell based on Python." It's a bit brute-force (if something parses as Python, it gets evaluated as an expression, else it's passed to the shell) but looks like it should work pretty well.

es edit / delete

"Es is an extensible shell. The language was derived from the Plan 9 shell, rc, and was influenced by functional programming languages, such as Scheme, and the Tcl embeddable programming language." Meets some of the design criteria I'm interested in, although overall I don't find the design that compelling.

A "better Tcl" language (i.e. something that sits in roughly the shell space, but is actually a real programming language with exceptions, etc.) The simplicity is interesting.

Hmm. Not convinced that it's worth learning a *slightly* different shell that's no good for scripting.
