Unfortunately, "You have to install OCaml (version 4.00.1 or higher) development environment before compiling Batsh" (not to mention "1. Install OPAM. See instructions.") basically makes it a non-starter for my purposes.
Why can't this take a batch file and translate it to Bash? Or vice-versa? Genuine question - I do not have a sufficient understanding of the fundamentals to guess.
I can't think of a case where seamlessly having two different targets like this has worked - particularly if there's pressure to really support all of the features of both.
Yes it does happen that some features get neglected, but we're talking shell scripting here. They could hit the 80% use case and it would be totally useful.

I reckon you don't, because it's not supported in windows batch. Just googled it. Doesn't seem to be supported yet: https://github.com/BYVoid/Batsh/issues/17

I want this to be great; it would solve no end of problems at my workplace.

By coming up with a third language the author could conveniently pick a subset of features that could easily be implemented in both languages without much goat slaughtering.

Only half-way; it doesn't stream the data, it waits for the first command to finish, saves the entire output, then starts the second command with output as input.

(I've switched to just writing everything in JavaScript for WSH. It's ECMAScript 3 and the API has some issues, but it's still a million times better than trying to write any logic in batch.)
I would have preferred a bash/powershell solution. Hoping no one is still writing batch files on windows... even if he is still using xp
