I agree, it is a neat shell, much better than Bourne and derivatives
for scripting. I am awful at C programming, but I think adding a few
addons to rc should be easy. The only thing that I really miss is a
'read' builtin. Using line(1) did not work, at least on Linux, apart
from the fact that being line(1) an external process it is not really
efficient, as it is often called from inside a loop.
Also, I think that the name 'rc' is sometimes a too short one. On AIX,
for instance, it conflicts with the system startup script /etc/rc.
I use Linux, so that's not a problem for me, nevertheless I would
really like that the default 'make install' stuff set up a symlink
to rc with a longer and more meaningful name, like 'rcsh'.
