I am curious about if there is any project about a replacement for the current unix-shells (like bash, ash, rsh ...), at least adding some new ideas or paradigm in this area. I was searching but i found very few information, this project http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendly_interactive_shell seems interesting, but not so diferent from the nowadays solutions.

What do you think? Do you imagine a linux-distribution on 2020 that still having bash? How can be an evolution of this programs?

To be clearer, about new ideas, i was talking of something like:

control-Z functionality
Colaboration features (like remote desktop) so you can invite someone to join and participate on your shell session
Possibility to see the result of a command before to really apply it to your system (this is closely related with the 1st point ctl-Z)
etc...
