I'm never sure when these plugs become too much, but...

I created a language called bish that allows you to write your shell scripts in a sane and comfortable syntax. No more remembering which one of those conditionals to use! Bish compiles to bash, so you also get to keep all of the portability that comes with bash scripts. I haven't had much time to work on it recently, and it's still missing some features, but it's ready to use now:

Long ago. IIRC this is the thing that translates something looking sort of like a subset of (Python? Haskell? C? I can't remember which.) into mostly-working Bash. It's a terrible idea.
