Shell integration

[MrFoxPro]

I was wondering if Rust-like scripting language could be used to make shell scripts? There is an example, but maybe it's worth to have tooling around shell like zx or bun shell does?

Here is example of using xz:

function swap-outputs {
  zx << 'EOF'
    let monitors = await $`wlr-randr --json`.then(JSON.parse)
    if (monitors.length < 2) {
      echo`less then 2 monitors connected`
      process.exit(1)
    }

    if (monitors.every(out => out.enabled)) {
      let [out1, out2] = monitors;
      await $`wlr-randr --output ${out1.name} --off`
      await $`wlr-randr --output ${out2.name} --on`
      process.exit(0)
    }
    let tasks = monitors.map(out => $`wlr-randr --output ${out.name} ${out.enabled ? '--off' : '--on'}`)
    await Promise.allSettled(tasks)
EOF
}

How similiar script will look like in rhai?

Sorry I just realize that this question is here and hasn't been answered.

I suppose you can, but you may not want to. Why use Rhai when you have lots of different scripting languages for different shells? Perl, awk, bash, csh, etc. The list goes on and on. Why use Rhai?
