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
Currently, Amber does not even support Bash 2 because Bash 2 does not support the += operator. (ticket) However, I believe that POSIX compliance is on Amber's long-term milestone, and that it will eventually achieve this as its support range expands.

I get why this is useful, and it's useful for me as well, but the perfectionist in me asks why target bash instead of posix?
