Crush

Crush is an attempt to make a traditional command line shell that is also a modern programming language. It has the features one would expect from a modern programming language like a type system, closures and lexical scoping, but with a syntax geared toward both batch and interactive shell usage.

• The overview gives a detailed overview of the features of Crush.
• The syntax documentation contains more a detailed description of the Crush syntax than what fits into the overview document.
• The configuration documentation describes how to configure Crush.
• The hacking documentation will eventually give you enough information about the inner workings of Crush to start hacking yourself.

Compile and install crush

clone this repository,

git clone https://github.com/liljencrantz/crush.git

and run
