+# Luash 
+
+A lua preprocessor for shell scripting.
+
+## Why
+
+Although traditional POSIX shells are highly portable and can be extremely fast, their syntax can be arduous to read.
+
+Lua is a lightweight and fast language that already has the features needed to become a great scripting language.
+
+This project aims to add syntactic sugar to make the process of write commands in lua much easier.
+
+Inspired by other projects such as Xonsh and Ruby.
+
+## Features
+
+Shell execution via backticks
+
+```lua
+files = `ls -a`
+```
+
+Variable substitution in shell commands
+
+```lua
+dir = "/"
+files = `ls #{dir}`
+```
+
+Environment variable access
+
+```lua
+print($SHELL)
+terminal = $TERM
+
+print("This will just print normally $SHELL")
+print("This will substitute with the environment variable ${SHELL}")
+```
