PowerShell is open sourced and is available on Linux

I want to throw my support behind scsh!

It's useful for those things that cross the boundaries between a program, and a shell script. I've found once you need functions for a shell program, it's time to step up to scsh.

I also wish scsh ports were more well maintained so people could use their favorite schemes with scsh syntax, but it's quite a large codebase to port, so remember that it's scheme48 scheme.

bits of SCSH have been ported to every scheme out there now. And some have been improved. Irregex, in particular, is a dramatically improved version of the SCSH regex engine.

Oh yes, ashinn's irregex is so good, I just include it in my home directory.

I thought I was the last person using scsh!

Now if I could just imbue my coworkers with your good taste....

Nice! :)

I write a lot of my stuff in guile when it's more formalized, but scsh's run syntax is just the bees knees. Can't get rid of it.
