scsh or similar?

[Christopher Howard]

Hi, I was intrigued by the idea of replacing my default shell with some
scheme based shell. I guess there used to be something call scsh but it
hasn't been maintained in years. Has some other project taken the
baton? Or would I have to resurrect scsh myself?

With regards to scsh, someone has recently made efforts to update it
at https://github.com/scheme/scsh

I think when I packaged it for Guix there were some
comments on its state, but it is usable at the very least.

Stefan Israelsson Tampe have some efforts on porting scsh to guile:
https://gitlab.com/guile-scsh/guile-scsh

And I made some bug fixes and a little improvement to it:
https://github.com/ChaosEternal/guile-scsh/tree/master/scsh
I am using it as script languages, for examle, a couple of scripts managing
kvm virtual machines
https://github.com/ChaosEternal/vmscripts

But it lakes a lot of features to be able to used as login shell: job
management, terminal session management, and it is not encouraged to use it
with guile's multithread. Also, it's REPL can not complete file names and
paths.
