I’ve been playing with CloSH, the Clojure Shell.
And I have to say, I’m sold.
If you’d like to have the full power of Clojure. And to write shell scripts that look like this :
[cc lang=”clojure”]
(doseq [f (expand “*jpg”)
(println f)
(sh identify -format “%wx%h” (str f))
(println))
[/cc]
rather than in hard to remember shell-script language.
Then this sorts you out.
Tab completion is a bit weirdly slow. And there are some glitches. But it basically works as you’d want / expect.
I’m now running it and, as of today, using it to do real things (eg. that batch process of analyzing jpegs, above).
