Immediately I want to try to refactor this to use the new dynamic functionality of 2.10. I think you could get a better interface much like you get in this python library

    http://amoffat.github.com/sh/

This is interesting,

I haven't go that far in the API but you can still do something like:

    CLI.enumerate(Seq("curl", "-s", "http://news.ycombinator.com/"))

and

    val curl = (url: String) => CLI.enumerate(Seq("curl", "-s", url))

This Seq synthax is provided by scala.sys.process, AFAIK, as a nice side-effect, it guarantees some safety of command parameters (avoiding injections).

This looks super-useful. I've yet to look into Scala, does anyoneone know if something similar exists for Ruby?

The link shows a blank page. Or is it just me?

Can you try again?
