This does exist but bash/sh is missing proper types. Examples include, null and numbers and anonymous functions. Mathematica and other software platforms use bash as universal installer for Mac and Linux. I have seen languages that compile to bash but use is limited based on the language.

In many (not all) times, these "universal installers" are only a small number of POSIX-compilant shell lines followed by some Base64-encoded binary. The whole purpose of the shell commands is to extract this binary.
