A really common use case is install/bootstrap/setup scripts. You know, those sketchy curl-to-bash things, or cloud-init scripts, or whatever you run to set up your actual higher level tools like Python.

Hi, I am one of the project maintainers :-)

As said there are use cases where you want to use only bash because you can't install scripting languages with their dependences as example.

As usual there is a tool for any user cases and Amber resolves some of them :-)
