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

To add to the great response from @confusedpuppy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, amber would address one thing only: writing the syntax.
Most people don’t need it, and even if they had it would break the compliance in other ways besides syntax, but I’m sure there are people out there that know what they are doing who would appreciate amber.
Amber will still support bash stuff, or perhaps even other non-posix shells through the use of flags.
