I see at lot of shells flying by and usually I stick to good old bash. Today, however, I came across psh, the Perl shell, and I must say this looks very promising!

The Perl Shell is a shell that combines the interactive nature of a Unix shell with the power of Perl. The goal is to eventually have a full featured shell that behaves as expected for normal shell activity. But, the Perl Shell will use Perl syntax and functionality for control-flow statements and other things.

Of course, for most things, there already is a solution (for instance, instead of doing this in psh

ls -al | { print ++$i,": $_" }q

, you can type the shorter

ls -al | nl

), but when you're used to Perl and even dream in Perl, this shell is the bomb :)
