I prefer tcl to a real shell for my shell scripting. It's close enough to a shell language that it isn't uncomfortable to use it as one, but aggressively simple. I liked scsh, but it's still not 64-bit clean and I got tired of configuring package managers to install 32-bit system libraries, but not to install 32-bit compatibility everything. I have been wanting to port the posix bits over to Guile for years, but keep finding something more pressing or interesting to do instead.
