GLX: A New Programming Language, Replacement for Bash and Other Shell

Link: https://github.com/glx101/GLX

GLX is an experimental programming language designed for system-level scripting with a cleaner and more structured syntax than traditional shell scripts.

It aims to reduce the complexity of Bash-like scripting by providing readable control flow, built-in data types (arrays, maps, ranges), bitwise operations, macros, and labels.

The language is implemented from scratch, including its lexer, parser, and interpreter.

GLX is open source and still evolving. I would love feedback from developers interested in language design, interpreters, or system programming.
