I just made a new shell with LLVM JIT and a Go syntax. This shell runs external commands using process(cmd[args]).then(cmd2 [args]). It has built-in Git and Docker functionality and Files module. It is safer as it's process and then functions ignore (;,&,|,etc). The .then() is the preferred syntax for piping. It can JIT ordinary Posix code using @posix decorator. Start building in Orbit Now. Please put questions in comments. We will welcome critical questions and problems that could arise.
