This looks quite good, and I’ve wanted something like this for a while now. I wonder if it could be improved by incremental versions of commands like grep, e.g. making the change grep net -> grep network faster.

Another system with some different but related capabilities is userland: https://hisham.hm/userland/

That is some impressive Proof of Concept and it's not even surprising considering who created it. Using a "terminal" like that would probably change a lot of how we work on the command-line

A variation on userland is the next project I'm trying to work on, though there are... distractions. In a random case that some benevolent millionaire wants to sponsor me to work full time on things like that, I'm certainly open to being contacted, my email is in the commits ;)

As to another huge and absolutely awesome emerging contender in this space, see https://luna-lang.org

Wow this is almost exactly what I’ve been looking for for years. I don’t want a tool like up that works on a fixed entry command; I want a full terminal that takes care of everything, showing me the output at every step. What’s missing is some caching (think HTTP requests) and limitation (e.g. evaluate the first 4 HTTP calls, and wait for me to approve the rest if they’re good)

Now, that one was a futuristic tool! Thanks for sharing! (He also wrote htop :D)
