I gave Shelly a try. Pretty cool - using it for some of the scripts on my system. Has me wondering though: is anyone working on creating a actual Haskell-like scripting language and engine? Shelly is cool, as I said, but I imagine it would be more valuable to have another language that is actually separate from Haskell, with an interpreter that is more lightweight and changes much less frequently (than GHC). Something that could be nearly as portable as Bash or Perl. -- frigidcode.com
