Object Shell

If you're looking for an interpreter that supports piping, you might want to try Object Shell (osh). It utilizes a Python-like language and is great for those who require command composition. One of the things that sets osh apart from other interpreters like it is that it handles objects instead of plain text streams. This means that you can pass a wide variety of objects between different commands. These objects can be anything from Python built-ins to more complex objects such as database rows, dates, times, or OS resources.

Where things can get really useful is when you want to integrate the objects within the Unix environment. Fortunately, this is made easy thanks to the automatic conversion of objects to strings. This helps to keep things straightforward and efficient. If you're looking for an interpreter that supports object-based piping, then give Object Shell (osh) a try.
