From the README:

Why not Python/Ruby/Node.js/Lua

Yes you can use any of them as platform-independent glue code. But there are several disadvantages:

    None of them is preinstalled on all platforms (including Windows).
    Functionalities like process piping are not convenient to use.
    Hard to integrate with existing code written in Bash or Batch.
Those reasons are why I developed Batsh.
