The whole CLI situation is ironic. Now, I'm not faulting Cisco here
for developing a language that was appropriate for the time it was
developed. But as there began to be an installed base, customers
would demand "CLI" on any router. I remember, at Nortel, having
customers demand to have show commands for Cisco-specific hardware.
Juniper and GateD control languages have a distinct resemblance; both
show their ancestry in UNIX. I happen to think their nested
structures are better for describing complex constructs. Bay BCC
(NOT site mangler) also is similar. All these languages are more and
more compatible with object-oriented specification, as in Routing
Policy Specification Language.
Where GateD is Juniper-like (or it can be argued the reverse is more
true), Zebra is very much Cisco-like.
