My primary use case for Amber is when I need to write a Bash script but don’t remember the silly syntax. My most recent Bash mistake was misusing test -n and test -z. In Amber, I can just use something == "" or len(something) == 0

I’m reminded of the horrid example showcased on the amber-lang website previously.
They know you can just do
if ((age < 18))in bash, right?Or rather
if ((10#$age < 18))becauseage=021would not be adult 😉 Hopefully, they protect against that at least.(I had to double-check this stupid default is still a thing, since I moved to zsh many years ago.)
