Language-focused shells

As a data scientist, I'm sure you do a lot of work with Python and Scala or have at least heard of those two languages. Two of our favorite shell replacements are Xonsh and Ammonite. Xonsh (https://xon.sh/) is a Python-powered shell that uses Python 3.4, and Ammonite (http://ammonite.io/) is a Scala-powered shell that uses Scala 2.11.7 (both versions are at time of writing). If you find yourself using a lot of Python or Scala in your day-to-day work, we recommend checking those shell replacements out as well after you've mastered the command line using bash.
