I would have said Python. My rule of thumb is that if a bash script is > 10-20 lines or needs a function, then I rewrite it in Python. It's simply way more readable. The main downside to using Python is that if you're running on a minimal system, in a container, or on Windows, Python is a large install. But I don't see how porting Powershell to _nix solves that issue. _nix systems are more common in most web-centric companies nowadays. If you're a company that uses both you're better off installing Python on your Windows boxes IMO since they probably have bigger disks anyways to handle the large OS.
