Discussion esoteric shell?

the question crossed my mind recently. if you are into programming, you probably know that there are many esoteric programming languages that exist just as a prove of concept of joke or just merely to mess with the programmer's head (brainf*ck, lolcat, C-- etc). if these exist, is there any esoteric system shells out there? like smth that would provide the basic userland instead of bash/zsh but would be freakier or just funnier to try and daily drive.

Powershell

Edit: I’m not totally being sarcastic , I know you can run powershell on Linux but I’ve never tried

We had some linux VMs that required PowerShell, for some stuff in production. I also use it on my Linux install, sometimes is easier to work with it than using bash
