Already done decades ago. It is called perl

I was just about to write that. But Perl is not in fashion anymore, will be reinvented in a decade.

Perl isn't a shell!

It also doesn't have any incremental build tool builtin. (not that it should, and not that Oils does)

It does have awk though!

Though these days I see both awk and make much more than I see Perl. Something interesting happened there
