2000 results in a Google search isn't what I'd call hype. At least one of the authors has a likely-looking email address. – Gilles Dec 11 '10 at 12:32

@Gilles BTW hotwire-shell is just the official name. It was more commonly know as hotwire. – Tshepang Dec 11 '10 at 18:07

By the way, hotwire would be a good answer for Object-oriented shell for *nix, if it's reached a usable state. – Gilles Dec 11 '10 at 20:04
