Have a look at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10239235/are-there-any-languages-that-compile-to-bash and consider adding some comparison table regarding the difference between older and newer compile to bash languages to your main website.

Its interesting to see what kind of design decision you made when designing this language and why you did, when compared to previous attempts.

What would also be a very good look is if your language is able to more easily create bash scripts that uses options switches like -h and --help and generate a markdown help document to go along with it

(e.g. the way python structured their arg parser means its easy for them to create such documents automatically and a help message too!)

Yes, that we could provide by either external libraries for Amber or some kind of syntax designed to handle that. This issue requires more attention and discussions so that we don't create a redundant syntax for something that can be easily solved with a package.

We should move that on https://github.com/Ph0enixKM/Amber-Docs but it is possible only in a GH organization
