FlexiScript: Linux Scripting Reimagined

Users find current Linux scripting tools limiting due to rigid parameter lists and unclear variable syntax, making it hard to write expressive, variadic functions and functional utilities like Map. FlexiScript offers a lightweight language that supports flexible, variadic parameters, Pascal‑style variable semantics, and built‑in functional helpers, eliminating these friction points and enabling concise, powerful scripts.

Comment on: scScript for Linux

No (scripting) language with 2 parameter lists, the second all Var (to use the Pascal syntax). I could have included a Var keyword instead to differentiate, but a) that would complicate the variadic nature of scScript parameter lists and b) didn't quite look C-like to my eyes. (Then again I also have two Map functions in there for arrays and dicts.... so I should not claim purity.) (Yes, I stole them from LISP :-)
