I worked on a semi-similar project, to let people turn bash scripts into FUSE filesystems: https://github.com/jasonhansel/microfs

For example, this script is used to make a FS that turns the web into a filesystem, so reading /www.google.com/GET will show the Google homepage: https://github.com/jasonhansel/microfs/blob/master/http.sh

microfs looks interesting to me, but unfortunately crashes with a SEGFAULT on Ubuntu 19.04:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00007ffff7de88b8 in __GI__IO_fread (buf=buf@entry=0x7fffffffd4f0, size=size@entry=1, count=count@entry=1024, fp=0x0) at iofread.c:35

This was a school project that only had to compile on one specific machine.

I may rewrite it in Rust (probably with lots of new features) if there is interest.
