	You've already got some references, you can also look at 
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/scc which includes a shell language.




- Does anyone find this interesting?


I do.


- Any other comment/suggestion/feedback


	It would be interesting to compare the speed of your Bash functions 
with the h4sh executables written in Haskell. Your solution has the 
source platform independence on its side, of course.


	A question of my own: is there any written design (an academic paper 
would be perfect) of a functional shell language?

Olin Shivers has written a detailed paper on Scsh.

ftp://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/pub/su/scsh/scsh-paper.ps

The link might be down permanently (it is for me at the moment), maybe
the paper is on Citeseer or similar. There is also the Scsh manual.

The Scsh manual is worth reading just for the introductory material.

Part of the problem is that both Clean and Scheme have relatively easy
and powerful 'eval' ability. (Esther exploits the interesting feature
of Clean that lets you serialize functions to disk.)

Haskell doesn't, so much. The GHC API isn't too great to work with
here; it's hard enough to evaluate straight Haskell fragments, and to
serve as a shell, you really need new syntax; for example, you want
literals for program names. (Who would use a shell which forces you to
write 'run ghci [foo.lhs]', instead of 'ghci foo.lhs'?) But many
filenames break in Haskell; 'ssh-agent', 'g++-4.4', 'bf_tar', etc.

Hi Gwern

The Scsh manual is worth reading for the Acknowledgements section -
which is somewhat famous. Looking over them both it seems most of the
material in the paper is covered in the manual.

Esther is shipped as a project with Clean2.2 although I think it only
works on Windows - the last time I looked at the code I got the
impression that it had diverged a bit from the the Famke / Esther
papers.

How about:

http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/h4sh.html

It brings a lot of familiar Haskell functions to the command-line. And *is*
actually written in Haskell ;)

 BASH to make my scripting life a bit easier. So I've been working on a

 I put up the full manpage here:

 $(($x + $acc))' 0

Unfortunately though, h4sh seems to be broken, for one, there's no fps package 
(apparently required), and hsplugins won't build with 6.12.1.

The ability to load and unload compiled code in a running application?
Perhaps hint offers that now ?

Specifically, I believe you could have a function 'foo', and you could load
a new version of 'foo' while the programming was running, and the running
code would start using the new version instead.. I can't quite remember the
details though. 'runtime linking' might be a term to describe it..

On Hackage: LambdaShell, language-sh, HSH, Hashell (dead), only, Shellac

Note that not all of these might be directly similar: I found them by
doing a quick search for shell and looking in the console section.
