Dune is a shell designed for powerful scripting. Think of it as an unholy combination of
bash
and Lisp.You can do all the normal shell operations like piping, file redirection, and running programs. But, you also have access to a standard library and functional programming abstractions for various programming and sysadmin tasks!
This sounds very similar to “rash” which is based on racket
The name conflicts with the build tool used for ocaml.
