OTOH, I remember that the first thing I did when, as a 10-year-old boy, I got a VIC-20 (my very first computer) was to type

    10 + 10
and "20" appeared after I pressed the Enter key. Today this would not work with Bash, yet at the time the computer's answer seemed pretty logical to me.


There modern day expression-oriented CLIs where this would work, too :)
