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

@SinTan1729 @sga I've been toying with the idea of learning Go. I currently tinker in python and bash scripts. Is Go worth my time learning?

    Oh, definitely. Its syntax is so simple, you can basically learn the basics over an afternoon. Outside of applications where consistent low latency is critical, if I can spare some extra RAM and CPU, I prefer Go to Rust.
