If I need an extra tool that will compile stuff, I might as well use a normal compiled or scripting language. Which I often do.

- Retr0id 2y agoBut then your compiled binaries are not portable cross-architecture, or your scripts require a compatible interpreter to be pre-installed.
- dpc_01234 2y agoWorth it. With Amber (and anything like it) you need an Amber compiler to be able to work on the script. And half of the reason to use a "script" is the ability to edit them if need arises. Also since I'm 100% Nix now, I require `nix` installed everywhere anywhere, and if there's `nix`, anything else is available in a reproducible way.
