Flat Pipe SHell
Most shells have too many syntax rules, which isn't a problem most of the time. When it becomes a problem is when trying to pass arguments with 'weird' characters like ampersands or greater/lessthan symbols. Also I always feel weird when using dd even though I know the equals signs aren't setting variables. To the effect of remedying this, I present FPSH.
FPSH (Flat Pipe SHell) is a interactive command-line shell. It can also be used in shell scripts. It is not very compatible with other shells, although it does share standard conventions for string literals, inline variables, and pipes.
Only two characters can seperate commands (minus newlines), ; and |, and the only other special characters are ", ', $, and \.
