I joked about this years ago. I'm not a Javascript fan, so really, I lamented that in a few years time, someone would make a CoffeeScript REPL[1] with built-in functions mirroring the Linux shell[2]. Call it jssh or sh.js.

Just a few days ago, I saw a shell interpreter that had a method for bouncing in and out of Python with ease.[3] I'm sure the Javascript version isn't long behind.
