unix shell programming: the next 50 years

src and discussion

The good

• Universal language for interoperability

• Works with anything and is a medium between anything

• Incredibly expressive (and often efficient) EDSL for stream processing

• Interactive environment for interacting with the computer

bad

• insane specification that isn't implemented correctly in any shell, not even worth diving into

• too arbitrary - it has infinite flexibility and that prevents it from doing anything

• too dynamic - everything in a shell script is dependent on global state, which prevents any form of optimization or program change

• performance cannot scale because it cannot be optimized

Future

Smoosh

fully formalize and implement the posix shell, showing differences between specifications across semantics

PaSH/POSH

annotation languages as a high level specification interface for interactive programs, can be used as abstract models for command behaviors! This allows for better system specification that can actually be enforced (thinking of tools like Alloy here!)

static reasoning

previous bullets name annotation languages that give us information about the shell - why not dynamically rewrite and inspect every shell command?
