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

    They know you can just do if ((age < 18)) in bash, right?

    Or rather if ((10#$age < 18)) because age=021 would 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.)
