Perl Brik Platform - Metabrik



Smartphones have their apps, Web browsers have their apps, shells don’t. With Metabrik, we tried to merge the power of shells with the power of the Perl language by creating a platform allowing to quickly write reusable Briks.

Metabrik goals:

ºGlue the Perl language with a shell
ºGive a standardised API to write reusable Briks
ºSelf-documented Briks to make them easy to use
ºOnly 4 main shell commands to remember: use, set, get, run

Metabrik features:

ºCompletion on Brik names, Commands and Attributes
ºCompletion on file manipulation
ºCompletion on Perl variable names
ºCommand history and recalling
ºCustomization support with a .rc file
ºScripting support
ºMultiple Brik repositories support

Metabrik helps you to concentrate on scenarios instead of wasting your time searching how to use a program. You just have to reuse available Briks to perform your everyday job.

The two main ideas behind Metabrik are:

ºYou have the brain, code has the details
ºDo it once
