It’s not Rust, OP was mistaken. It’s ECMA-Script-like with Rust-like features and also Python-like features. I think the idea is, you can develop Amber scripts “at home” then deploy them on any machine that has Bash without needing to install anything. This benefits system admins. Amber compiles directly to shell code, so you can: Leverage existing shell tooling and pipelines. Deploy a single script without installing a language interpreter. Benefit from shell‑native features (process substitution, job control) while enjoying high‑level syntax and safety. Is Amber production‑ready? In the the project it is production ready because it is already used in this context because the shell code generated is tested and confirmed that works, the language is evolving with the tooling set. Well, their FAQ isn’t exactly production ready.
