PowerShell does pretty much all the things you mentioned except the lispy part. Actually, I guess it has first class and anonymous function support so if you squint a little you have the lispy part as well.

PowerShell is a great source of inspiration (I went through a PowerShell reference book before I started Elvish), but IMO it's too complex and has too many (avoidable) pitfalls.

I don't know much about PowerShell, although I've heard it's good but somewhat verbose (something I can't stand). I should probably read more about it to see what lessons it has, but of course, as an OS X user, I can't use it.
