Comment on CShell: A simple, yet powerful, C# scripting IDE

The point of scripting is to do things quickly at the expense of possibly being ugly. Most of the things we do in the UNIX shell are one-off local stuff. I want to rename all file extensions in a directory. I want to find a regex in files ending with .c and .h excluding the .svn and .git directories. Etc etc.

So I'm sorry but a "scripting" language whose print operator is longer than 5 chars is not a scripting language :)

    Action<object> print = Console.WriteLine;

I mean, it's not perfect but you can also create a .Dump() extension method for all objects like Linqpad does. It comes really handy.

Also, I like Scala REPL's automatic labels for the results.

    scala > 7 * 7
    res0:Int = 49
    
    scala > res0 - 9
    res1:Int = 40

Saves a lot of typing.
