What makes it cleaner? To me it looks as if it is zx with a different programming language while using ~ instead of $ for shell commands.

The repository didn't make that claim, OP did -
> Inspired by Google's zx, but made much simpler and more accessible using Python.

the await's were a big no-no for me, that's mostly it. having to unnecessarily write await 20 times for 20 shell commands isn't that clean imo.

What's wrong with
https://github.com/xonsh/xonsh
?

The approach is very different. Xonsh is a shell first, and it adds python capabilities on top (with an arguably complicated syntax). Meanwhile, zxpy is just a python script, that can seamlessly run bash commands inside it.

Cool! I like how you are using the AST to resolve the ~"" strings, I would have never thought of that.
