Hello, friends in csh community,

I am developing x-cmd in the recent three years. X-cmd is implementing using posix shell.
Recently I am think of porting x-cmd to freebsd, which I heard so much about it.

I found freebsd using csh as default. So I am also porting x-cmd to csh last night. I do like the csh grammar, even I know little about it.

I would love to make csh as a portable script language everywhere. I think it is cool.
In x-cmd's pkg system, every pkg is portable and can be used in the user space.
That means when the user can 'x <script>.py', x-cmd can download the py runtime automatically in the least intrusive way.

This can also apply to csh.

So I am wondering is it possible that tcsh official provide a static build csh or any kinds of portable version for mac/linux/openbsd, that I can use it in the way above ?


We currently use cosmopolitan to providde portable bash and zsh.
