  Unfortunately, this did mean that configuration began to sprawl. At this point, I had configurations not just for Vite (shared with Vitest) and tsc, but also for Prettier, ESLint and even ShellCheck. Many of these files had shared settings that needed to match each other. This was somewhat manageable, until Vite was also in the mix.

  It's been so long since I used it seriously I couldn't tell you.

  There's over 1000 open issues on the GitHub repo, and over 100 contain "false positive". I recognize several of these at first glance.

• New shell scripting language, a new tablet, and in-product messaging

  If you're only occasionally writing shell scripts, Amber may not be a priority for you. In such cases, linting tools like ShellCheck could be more beneficial. However, if you find yourself frequently writing shell scripts, to the point where you're considering Python or Ruby for better re-usability, then Amber is definitely worth your attention.

  As carlinigraphy points out, shellcheck [0] exists, and can easily be put into pre-commits, a CI pipeline, etc. This would have almost certainly flagged your problem immediately.

  > I would be willing to learn a sane language, but bash isn't one.

  It's a general language that has to be both an interactive interpreter and script executor, and it needs to support a huge variety of architectures and kernel versions, as well as historical decisions. It's going to have some cruft.
