I have been working on a transpiler myself and came across this repo today.
The specification in the README gives me some really good ideas! Thanks!

I am stuck at a point on how to implement variable scopes like:

let i = 10;
let z= 20;
while(i<10){
  console.log(i)
   i = i +1;
   let z = 40;
}

at the moment, translates to:

i=0

z=0

while  ((  $(($i < 10)) )) ; do 
  
  echo  "$i"
  i=$(($i + 1))
  z=$i

done

Let me know if you have any good idea for implementing scopes.
Here is the one that I am working on https://github.com/evnix/BashType (very much a work in progress and the reason for building it exactly the same as yours 😛)

A JavaScript/TypeScript to bash transpiler. Work in progress.

Why? Mainly because I wanted to learn how to make a transpiler.

I also wanted to experiment with bash and how far we could stretch this old, yet widely cross-platform language.
