I started thinking about ways to do things a bit differently and leverage Kotlin to automate certain commands that I type very often. A few ideas:
- ps("foo") would show all the processes that contain the string "foo" in them
- find("bar") same as find . -name \*bar\*
- find("bar", dirOnly = true) self explanatory

Sounds like aliases and functions in bash. e.g. https://scriptingosx.com/2017/05/configuring-bash-with-aliases-and-functions/

@ethauvin I'm still wondering if aliases are necessary in Kash at all since you can just define Kotlin functions for these

@cedric aliases don't require parenthesis like fun do, that's about it.

@ethauvin Kotlin aliases don't either, they can be val!
