Re:Kiss Linux – A distribution with a focus on less is more by chubot on Thursday May 21, 2020 @06:42PM (#23266400)
That's the point of Oil:

https://github.com/oilshell/oil

A new Unix shell. Our upgrade path from bash to a better language.

It runs thousands of lines of existing shell scripts unmodified, but there's also a brand new language that will be familiar to Python or JS programmers. See http://www.oilshell.org/blog/2020/01/simplest-explanation.ht...

It works and you can try it now. The downside is that the implementation is more like a slow prototype, but that's being addressed, and the release I made today has stats about the C++ version (blog post forthcoming).
