bash scripting has ergonomics?

Regardless of where it’s deployed I can edit it and run it without any additional tools.

So does an amber script after it's been compiled, that's the whole point. You can tweak it and inspect it if you want. Realistically though you'll probably regenerate it and copy the new compiled version over. But you can do both.

Is it? There is no example of what the compiled output looks like in the website or github. Just because its bash doesn't mean its suitable to be maintained in bash.
