Why?
I think it’s to make it easier to write bash scripts, for those who are new or when the script is doing a more critical task
Modern Syntax
You will find many of the language features familiar, allowing you to get up and running much faster than if you were learning Bash from scratch.
Runtime Safety
It’s one of the key components missing from regular shell scripts. It can help you catch many bugs at compile time.
Type Safety
Amber ensures that you handle everything that could fail. Each Bash command and function that could fail must be handled in some way.
Ok, I guess that makes sense. Bash is a pretty old school language for those raised in the functional programming era
So if you’re already pretty good at bash would you bother to switch and learn this?
