terrycojones/daudin: A Python command-line shell

"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 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.
