⚑ Core Features
⚡ Intuitive Syntax Design
# Syntax like modern programming languages
let user = {name: "Alice", age: 25}
let {name, age} = user
let numbers = 1..10 | List.filter(x -> x > 5)
let [a, b] = [1, 2]
⚡ Chained Calls
Supports method chaining similar to object-oriented languages:
"hello world".split(' ').join(',')
data | .filter(x -> x > 0)
⚡ Powerful Error Handling
More intelligent error tips, error capture and recovery deeling than traditional shells.
command ?. # Ignore errors
command ?: e # Error capture or default value
command ?+ # Print to standard output
command ?? # Print to error output
command ?> # Override print (data channel)
command ?! # Terminate on error (terminate pipeline)
⚡ Diverse Pipeline Operations
data | process # Standard pipeline, supports structured data
data |_ positional # Positional pipeline
data |> loop_deel # Loop pipeline
data |^ interactive # PTY pipeline
Structured pipelines:
ls -l | .to_table() | where(size > 5K)
Fs.ls -l | where(size > 5K) | select(name,size,modified)
ls -1 |> cp -r _ /tmp/
⚡ Rich Built-in Modules
- Collection Operations:
List.reduce, List.map - File System:
Fs.ls, Fs.read, Fs.write - String Processing:
String.split, String.join,Regexmodule - Time Operations:
Time.now, Time.format - Data Conversion:
Into,Frommodule - Mathematical Calculations: Complete
Mathfunction library - Logging:
Logmodule - UI Operations:
Ui.pick, Ui.confirm
⚡ Function Decorators
Supports function decorator syntax:
@decorator_name
@decorator_with_args(param1, param2)
fn my_function() { ... }
⚡ Module import
Supports module import syntax:
use moduleA as ma
AI Integration Support
Built-in local AI assistant, supports command completion and smart suggestions.
⚑ Use Cases
☘ Interactive Shell
Replace traditional shells, providing a modern command-line experience:
# Start interactive shell
lume
☘ Script Automation
#!/usr/bin/env lumesh
# File processing script
let files = Fs.ls("/data") | where(size > 1MB)
files | List.map(f -> Fs.cp(f, './backup'))
☘ System Management
# System management
df -h | Into.table()
