Elvish is:

  • A powerful scripting language.
  • A shell with useful interactive features built-in.
  • A statically linked binary for Linux, BSDs, macOS or Windows.
Elvish is pre-1.0. This means that breaking changes will still happen from time to time, but it's stable enough for both scripting and interactive use.
