Seems like a good Swiss Army Knife-like addition to the shell script (reminds me of awk as well). It would be interesting to keep it that simple (not another Perl)
Awk was one of early use-cases I wanted to make it useful for. It still has "Ryk" mode, but I haven't tested it in years so I'm not sure if it works right now.
Rebol was known for its small set of moving parts and behaviors but with a lot of depth and flexibility with them. I've added some moving parts with left to right code flow, but I still hope it's a limited set that fits well together. I am adding new behaviors very conservatively now, and I will remove some. Thanks for heads up about Perl! ;)
