Shill: A Secure Shell Scripting Language

Personally, I am not a big fan of putting more acl&#x2F;config&#x2F;monitor requirements to the shell. New features add complexity, possible bugs and hacking vectors.<p>Prefer just simply &quot;git add &#x2F;{etc,bin,sbin,lib} &#x2F;usr&#x2F;{bin,sbin,lib} ... &amp;&amp; git commit &quot;<p>And daily cron jobs run a &quot;git status&quot; would give me some idea, trigger and confident if someone have &quot;hack into&quot; the server.

Very relevant timing.<p>I&#x27;ve all but switched to zsh on my dev boxes but this looks to be a great option for production environments.

Developer here, happy to answer any questions.

Developer in Racket, does not have S-expressions syntax? Why? Would love to use some scripting lisp on my machine.

I would have thought the best way to do secure shell scripting is to use a non-shell language, e.g. Python or Go.<p>It seems most shell vulnerabilities (including shellshock) fundamentally come from the awful and dangerous syntax.

Can&#x27;t say I like the name; it evokes nothing but negative connotations.
