woah!
- Main file is ~7K lines of bash.
- There is a bash-based YAML parser ! It says it can handle "well-formed YAML document"
- It is has "download and run code from the web" -- if the command is not found, it will go to pre-defined github location and try to download and run that command. The versions are optional, and there are no package lock / integrity checks.
I am surprised how far some people go to avoid real programming languages... lua for example is <400 kb installed and provides infinitely better syntax and list processing tools.
