I recently discovered [Elvish](https://elvish.io/), which is a shell perfectly
|
|
|
|
|
suited to process structured data. In my case it is perfect to be used with
|
|
|
|
|
[varlink](http://varlink.org). Too bad elvish has no numeric type and
|
|
|
|
|
can't feed varlink with int and float, because to\-json converts them to strings.
