+Es is an extensible Unix shell with first class functions, lexical
+scope, exceptions and rich return values. It is highly influenced by
+Plan 9's rc shell, but also borrow ideas from scheme and tcl. It is
+a small shell that works well both for interactive use and for
+scripting, particularly since its quoting rules are much less
+baroque.
