this reminds me of some other fun terminal experiments too like hotwire-shell

Is it dead? The links from https://code.google.com/p/hotwire-shell/ to the "main website" go to http://hotwire-shell.org/, which has "buy this domain" ads all over it.

Yes, not much has been done in the last 5 years. It would be fun to bring it back, however.

It sounds like hotwire-shell is to Python as PowerShell is to .NET.
