Re:Become Shell Literate

I mean shell should not be python, like xonsh. In my opinion it should not add programming language features (like types, futures, ADTs,...), but instead should clean up the existing built-ins + maybe little bit coreutils as built-ins.

Never heard about xonsh, it looks really cool. Seems like a step in the good direction (from python to shell). It needs a few steps more to attain the elegant perfection of the shell language, for example, removing this "type" stuff from the variables ;)
