After writing a decent backup shell script in fish, I converted it to bash as IntelliJ didn't have support for fish and also non strict Posix compatibility wasn't too comfortable and then realized it's quite a pain to write long script in bash knowing modern languages are far easier to write with, I may just go back to using perl for shell scripting.
All of the later scripting languages aren't really meant for writing shell script as invoking commands is just tedious instead of just using back ticks in perl.
Talk about going in circles of history.
