gherkin is a functional programming language and interpreter written in [GNU Bash 4](http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/) designed for extreme portability across *nix platforms. For rationale, see [Why gherkin?](https://github.com/alandipert/gherkin/wiki/Why-gherkin%3F)

gherkin is a dialect of [Lisp](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisp), and like other Lisps such as [Clojure](http://clojure.org/) and [Scheme](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheme_(programming_language) it features homoiconicity, first-class functions, and primitive functions for operating on a variety of data types such as strings, integers, symbols, and lists. As a citizen of *nix and the shell environment, it also provides *nix and shell interoperation facilities.

gherkin is currently **alpha** status, but our hope is to continue feature development until gherkin can be used in place of Bash for general purpose *nix scripting. If you're curious about our progress toward our first release, see [our milestones](https://github.com/alandipert/gherkin/issues/milestones).
