Amber Lang - Write easily Bash with a transpiler
Abstract
Amber is an experimental programming language that transpiles to Bash, designed to make shell scripting more readable, safer, and easier to maintain. While Bash is ubiquitous, its syntax and error-prone patterns often slow down development, especially for complex scripts. Amber addresses these issues by offering a clearer syntax, basic typing, structured control flow, and a growing standard library, while still producing compatible Bash code (3.2–5.3). Written in Rust and supported by modern tooling such as an LSP and editor plugins, Amber aims to improve the developer experience of writing portable shell scripts without abandoning the Bash ecosystem.
