## What Jamie wrote

I love that there is still broad experimentation in shells. I hadn't heard of [Racket](https://racket-lang.org) before but [it is a Lisp language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racket_(programming_language)) based on [Scheme](https://www.scheme.org). The wild thing about Rash is that you can mix and match shell operators, pipes, and Racket code completely inline. The demo video is an easy introduction to some of the capabilities. It feels a bit like Rash is to Racket like Emacs is to Lisp. The tool and the language blend in ways that are hard to even distinguish.
