    Looking at the example

    Why does the generated bash look like that? Is this more safe somehow than a more straighforward bash if or does it just generate needlessly complicated bash?

      I doubt the goal is to produce easily understood bash, otherwise you’d just write bash to begin with. It’s probably more similar to a typescript transpiler that takes in a language with different goals and outputs something the interpreter can execute quickly (no comment on how optimized this thing is).
