I've spent the last ~5 years working on a cross platform $SHELL and scripting language that sits somewhere between Bash, Fish and Windows Powershell.
The idea being it has UX improvements and sane defaults like fish (eg man page parsing for better auto completions), it supports structured data types like Powershell but yet still works fine with traditional POSIX byte streams like Bash.
I've also worked hard on the syntax to try and keep it as familiar with POSIX as I can for ease of use, but throwing out POSIX where it's counter-intuitive. And likewise, the syntax tries to balance terseness (since REPL is a write many read once environment) with readability (to make shell scripts less cryptic).
Target audience is basically myself but I think this fits anyone who spends a lot of time in the terminal using sysadmin or developer tools. Particularly DevOps tooling which are often JSON / YAML / etc heavy.
This is a personal project but I'm very much open to feedback, suggestions, feature requests, pull requests, etc...
