This hurts my brain. We have nice shell languages now, can we just lock down and phase out the rest please? I don’t even want to know the hidden cost of running Bash or sh scripts tbh. Both are languages where you can do something not right enough, because everything just has to be obnoxious.
While there certainly is some overlap, Python is a scripting language and not a shell language. Some tasks that involve calling lots of different programs and juggling input and output streams are much easier done in bash than in Python.
Absolutely true, it was more of a joke because Python is being used for pretty much anything today. I really don’t want to mess with correct indentation in my terminal.
Oof. Looks like this affected some other languages as well - somebody at Microsoft needs to up their documentation game, methinks.

I won’t argue with you that bash is janky and easily insecure, but what shell language do you think should replace bash?
Python😎
