turtle is a reimplementation of the Unix command line environment
in Haskell so that you can use Haskell as both a shell and a scripting
language.
Features include:
Batteries included: Command an extended suite of predefined utilities
Interoperability: You can still run external shell commands
Portability: Works on Windows, OS X, and Linux
Exception safety: Safely acquire and release resources
Streaming: Transform or fold command output in constant space
Patterns: Use typed regular expressions that can parse structured values
Formatting: Type-safe printf-style text formatting
Modern: Supports text and system-filepath

quick-start guide
turtle is designed to be beginner-friendly, but as a result lacks certain
features, like tracing commands. If you feel comfortable using turtle
then you should also check out the Shelly library which provides similar
functionality.
