@icedquinn @a7 The cool thing about io10.dev is that you can get, by means of some static content (static from the server's point of view: you can just clone the repo and serve it as static assets), a browser on a standard fluoridated environment to give you a pretty reasonable environment to do normal computing.

I should get back to work but did get fascinated by pipeworld for a minute. It looks like it's full of stuff that I wanted, although it also is full of some stuff that I didn't:

> pipe(“find /usr”, “grep –line-buffered share”)

(Setting aside that he's using some kind of :fluoride: markdown processor :fluoride: that turns U+0022 into U+201c.)

I experimented with this kind of thing a long time back. It's just not going to match the shell. The bare words and the convenience are features for interactive hacking, not bugs. The shell's syntax is specialized for creating this kind of pipeline to fit things together, so it's a moderate bummer that pipeworld, a thing for interactive hacking, picked "not pipes". The rest of it, the data encoding and all of it, that's amazing (or at least the demo is).
