Scsh

From Free net encyclopedia

Scsh is a POSIX API layered on top of the scheme programming language (currently only a Scheme 48 implementation exists, but others are planned) in a manner to make the most of scheme's capability for scripting.

Scsh includes:

Library support for list, character, and string manipulations;
Regular expressions manipulation support using scheme regular expressions, a little languages approach to the capabilities;
Strong networking support;
High-level support for awk like scripts, integrated into the language as macros;
Abstractions supporting ptys;
A shell language, modelled using quasi-quotation.
