No, it is not. POSIX compliance is a non-goal. Perhaps in the future, someone would be able to write a native plugin to support shell scripting (which would be against it&amp;rsquo;s main goal, but &amp;hellip;.)
Windows Support? It compiles for Windows (CI ensures it does), but otherwise it is not directly supported. If you&amp;rsquo;d like to improve this situation, checkout the discussion .
Where is the API documentation?</description></item><item><title>Getting Started</title><link>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/alias-substitute/docs/getting-started/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/alias-substitute/docs/getting-started/</guid><description>To start Hilbish, open a terminal. If Hilbish has been installed and is not the default shell, you can simply run hilbish to start it. This will launch a normal interactive session. To exit, you can either run the exit command or hit Ctrl+D.
Setting as Default Login shell There are a few ways to make Hilbish your default shell. A simple way is to make it your user/login shell.</description></item><item><title>Improving Hilbish's Branding</title><link>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/alias-substitute/blog/improving-this-website/</link><pubDate>Thu, 13 Apr 2023 22:15:31 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/alias-substitute/blog/improving-this-website/</guid><description>Happy birthday Hilbish! As of last month, Hilbish is now 2 years old. Unfortunately I missed the official date, but I will still make a more focused post on the date (19st).
I decided to fix up this website and Hilbish&amp;rsquo;s logo, so that can be thought of as something for the 2 years milestone?
Logo Hilbish&amp;rsquo;s old logo was.. not that good. It definitely functioned as a logo, but the yellow part of it looked ugly (sorry old logo).</description></item><item><title>v2.1.2 Release</title><link>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/alias-substitute/blog/v2.1.2-release/</link><pubDate>Mon, 10 Apr 2023 12:27:41 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/alias-substitute/blog/v2.1.2-release/</guid><description>The release with full changelogs and prebuilt binaries can be seen at the v2.1.2 tag.

These are the simple functions hilbish.interval and hilbish.timeout (doc accessible with doc hilbish). But if you want slightly more control over them, there is the hilbish.timers interface. It allows you to get a timer via ID and control them.</description></item><item><title>Interface hilbish.userDir</title><link>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/alias-substitute/docs/api/hilbish/hilbish.userdir/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/alias-substitute/docs/api/hilbish/hilbish.userdir/</guid><description> Introduction This interface just contains properties to know about certain user directories.

In order to make it easier to write commands for Hilbish, not require separate scripts and to be able to use in a config, the Commander library exists. This is like a very simple wrapper that works with Hilbish for writing commands. Example:
local commander = require &amp;#39;commander&amp;#39; commander.register(&amp;#39;hello&amp;#39;, function(args, sinks) sinks.out:writeln &amp;#39;Hello world!&amp;#39; end) In this example, a command with the name of hello is created that will print Hello world!</description></item><item><title>Module fs</title><link>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/alias-substitute/docs/api/fs/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/alias-substitute/docs/api/fs/</guid><description>Introduction The fs module provides easy and simple access to filesystem functions and other things, and acts an addition to the Lua standard library&amp;rsquo;s I/O and filesystem functions.

This is used via the hilbish.message interface.
A message is defined as a table with the following properties:
icon: A unicode/emoji icon for the notification. title: The title of the message text: Message text/body channel: The source of the message. This should be a unique and easily readable text identifier.</description></item><item><title>Runner Mode</title><link>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/alias-substitute/docs/features/runner-mode/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/alias-substitute/docs/features/runner-mode/</guid><description>Hilbish allows you to change how interactive text can be interpreted. This is mainly due to the fact that the default method Hilbish uses is that it runs Lua first and then falls back to shell script.
In some cases, someone might want to switch to just shell script to avoid it while interactive but still have a Lua config, or go full Lua to use Hilbish as a REPL. This also allows users to add alternative languages, instead of either like Fennel.</description></item><item><title>Welcome to the Hilbish blog</title><link>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/alias-substitute/blog/welcome/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://rosettea.github.io/Hilbish/versions/alias-substitute/blog/welcome/</guid><description>Hello!
