Subject: Re: ruby shell?

There is ruby based shells... Look them up and think about it some more...

You'd have to write a new shell with a ruby like syntax in all reality...

What about environment variables ?

You can't just start typing executable names that are in your path
you'd have to use back ticks or something for every single command you
want to run that isn't part of ruby...

etc...
