+A command-line shell for Windows.
-the worst starting point when it comes to CLI shells. Assuming nothing here
-works and it doesn't even compile.
-
-## Background
-
-The needs of this project reflect my professional experience working on
-multiplayer video games. Prior to working in the games industry, I worked in
-the web industry, primarily writing server software. The working practices of
-programmers in these industries differ substantially. The large differences in
-these working practices create a substantial and difficult social divide
-within studios that make multiplayer games. These social differences make an
-already-difficult category of software even more difficult to develop. The
-goal of this project is to reduce the tooling divide that exists between
-client and server developers at multiplayer game studios, with the expectation
-that shrinking this tooling gap can reduce the social divide that exists
-between game developers and server/infrastructure developers at game studios.
-
-### Windows is a hard requirement
-
-The first gap that appears within the greater software developer landscape is
-the question of using Windows at all. Let us dispense with this question
-immediately: Windows is a necesary tool within the game development industry.
-Supporting Windows is a hard requirement of this project.
-
-Many necessary tools, such as tools provided by game console manufacturers and
-tools that integrate with the dominant game engines (Unity and Unreal) only
-support Windows. If your reaction to this is "don't use those tools" or "make
-your game in Godot", please just stop. This is a very common reaction from
-professional programmers who have never worked in gamedev, who don't
-understand the constraints that most game developers face. Unfortunately a
-large portion of programming discussion happens on Hacker News, Reddit, and
-Lobsters, each of which uses a democratic structure.
-
-I will not attempt to convince you that Windows is broadly
-unavoidable in professional game development and that Windows is a necessary
-tool for game development studios, even studios that employ engineers for whom
-Windows is not necessary for their individual role. If you want to advocate
-for Linux superiority, please go bother Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, etc, not
-individual game developers. If you really can't get over this and feel the
-need to yell at me, please walk a few hundred yards into a dense forest and
-scream your complaints into the wilderness to feel better.
-
-The command-line environments built into Windows are incredibly primitive.
-These environments are so primitive that millions of professional programmers
-who work primarily on Windows are led to believe that command-line
-environments themselves are *inherently* primitive.
-
-. The limitations of built-in
-command-line environments on Windows is so severe that there are entire
-categories of professional computer programmers who believe that they are "not
-terminal people", often without realizing that the terminal on Linux and MacOS
-is a vastly different experience and different tooling ecosystem than it is on
-Windows. Many professional Windows developers believe that CLI environments
-are inherently primitive, because their only exposure to CLI environments is
-through the built-in Windows shells.
-
-Windows ships with two built-in
-shells. The first shell is the Command Prompt, which we'll refer to as
-[cmd.exe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cmd.exe) as it is colloquially known,
-even when running inside of
-[terminal.exe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Terminal). The second
-shell is [PowerShell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerShell).
-
-### Insufficiency of cmd.exe
-
-The insufficiency of cmd.exe is widely understood to people with experience
-with Unix-like operating systems such as Linux and MacOS, which typically
-include either [bash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_(Unix_shell)) or
-[zsh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_shell). This insufficiency is severe
-enough that it drives people off of Windows entirely.
-
-In some industries, such as games, Windows is a required development
-environment, because many tools are available only on Windows. Free software
-purists who want to insist that you can make video games on Linux, please feel
-free to leave now, this project is not for you.
-
-## Terimology
-
-- **executable**: a shell built-in or an executable file (i.e., an .exe file)
-
-## examples
-
-    $> a
-
-Find an executable named `a` somewhere on `PATH` and execute it in the
-foreground.
-
-    $> ./a
-
-Use an executable named `a` within the current directory and execute it in the
-foreground. `a` must be a file in the current directory. If `a` would refer to
-both a shell built-in and a file in the current directory, use the file in the
-current directory.
