I third this- IPython supports doing things like ls and cd in its shell, and to execute anything else using /bin/sh, just do ! at the beginning (so you can do piping and other common shell tasks without weird behavior). There is also a Ruby shell that reinvents how to interact with shell commands: http://pryrepl.org/ Essentially you can do: .ps.kill() ,which would kill all processes All in all I think using any higher level language and having its own shell would be ideal- I think many of us opt for python because of its consistent syntax. And how does python not have scripting? Additionally, there are programs that compile python...You've got me at piping though.
