Hotwire is a Python-based, object oriented, cross-platform command execution shell. Hotwire is not a terminal emulator, nor is it something you can set as your Unix "login shell". Instead, Hotwire unifies the concepts of shell and terminal and can natively do about 80-90% of what one would normally do in a terminal and shell; for the rest, Hotwire can embed VTE. Hotwire's object-oriented nature is influenced by Windows PowerShell. Hotwire provides a modern command interface for developers and system administrators to interact with the computer.

Changes:
Some system commands were changed to open in a new
terminal window which does not close when the
command exits. Often you want to see the final
output of the command after it exits. Examples
include "sudo" and "su". Complete commands are
only removed after they've been viewed. Command
output is significantly faster. UID/GID lookups
are cached, which speeds up file listings.
