My dream is to completely get rid of bash and other awful shells.
I remember to have seen a talk on a OO shell, where each command like
'cat', 'ls', 'cd' where actually message sent to an instance of a
class Shell. The receiver would then be implicit.
Imagine a prompt like:
shell.
Each command will then be a message sent to the object referenced by
the variable 'shell'.
entering 'ls' will then invoke 'shell.ls'...
Cheers,
Alexandre
