i maeked u a shell

(alternative title: Too Much Time on My Hands, which goes rather nicely with my last Perl 6 post).

So, in the beginning there was lolcats, then there was lolcode, then there was lolsql (jnthn even wrote a parser for it!) and then I took the joke too far and started lolsh, the lol Shell, in Perl 6.

It is very simple; it mimics bash’s UI as closely as possible, waits for input, and if the command entered is known it qqx’s the real-world equivalent.

Hopefully someone has a “so that’s how you do …” moment while looking at this so that writing it was justified :-)
