Hilbish is an interactive Unix-like shell written in Go, with the config
and other code written in Lua.
It is sort of in a stable state currently, usable as a daily shell,
but there may still be breaking changes in Lua modules.

Binaries are provided for the latest commit.
Note that these use Hilbiline, not readline, and may be missing functionality (moving the cursor, proper unicode support and backspace working properly)
