If you write a working program in BASH, it will probably work until the day you die. That's why I use BASH for any script I want to be able to forget about. Even long scripts, I have written multi thousand line programs in BASH separated into different modules. Some of this could be helpful, but the non standard syntax kind of defeats the purpose.
