Amber - the programming language compiled to Bash

Bash is one of the most used shell language, it's installed on almost all Linux and Mac systems and can also be used on windows. Almost no one likes writing it as it is convoluted and really really hard to read and write. There are many replacement language's for it, but using them is troublesome, because of incompatibilities. Amber is compiled which will solve problems with compatibility and it seems that language itself is very readable. On top of that it has most futures that modern programmers need.

Basically dealing with abandoned-by-god syntax and limitations of bash. You can abstract them away!
