I like Plan 9's rc a lot, for scripting. I don't think it sucks at all.
I think it is good and more elegant than /bin/sh. It can be obtained
via 9base [1] or Plan 9 Port [2]. I don't use it interactively though
due to its lack of history.
Indeed there is another implementation of rc [3] that is better to use
interactively (since it has history), but it is incompatible with Plan 9
rc, unfortunately, and the author is not interested in changing it to be
compatible [4]. The difference is just one item of syntax, but it's
enough to be a major incompatibility.
I use fish interactively. It probably sucks as far as its SLOC, but I
like it anyway.
