I tried all kinds of interactive shells available on market. You know what, it's hard to say.

I'm going to make a state-of-art shell, with intuitive interacting and powerful general purpose design pattern.

To get this piece of art running,

cargo run

Or for those who don't know rust very well, just download the latest snapshot build from my CI.

Yaish doesn't support bash syntax, in place of which is a reimagined scripting language called yass (yet another shell script).

To know more about yass, go to SYNTAX.md

Yaish comes with a very different design and interacting pattern than most other interactive shells.

In CLI mode, the shell is interactive, which means it's got auto-completion, command history, suggestions, typo fix, stylization and many other things you could possibly imagine.

Yass, however, is not available in CLI mode. It doesn't mean it's got no marcos, instead, the shortcuts are well-designed and more powerful, but it's just I think too complicated and inconvenient to write automation in a line-based command prompt.

The completion suggestions stay sticky to the screen bottom, each ending with a number indicator.

It's basically an input method logic, where you choose items to fill in within number keys row.

The first option of auto-completion is sticky to the end of line, which you press tab or right arrow key to fill in.

Scripting and macros make things easy. However, bash syntax, in my point of view, is a mess.

Here's an example of the yass scripting language.

literal('pacman -##') {
    where '##' selects 'D', S', 'Q', 'R'
}

literal('pacman -S##) {
    where '##' contains 's', 'y', 'q', 'w', 'c', 'g' // ...
}

literal('pacman -S ##') {
    where '##' selects cached(cache_control: max_age(10min)) {
        entries cli('pacman -Ssq')
    }
}
