> bash my head against the wall for a while I'm similar with shell scripts - awkward at best. The longest one I've written is only a few hundred lines, but it was tough to write and test. It sits in the middle of a busy build pipeline, and while it does the job, I'm wary of making any changes. For long-term maintenance, especially for other people that may need to keep it runnning, I'd trade some performance for a higher-level language like Python or JavaScript - the code and logic would be so much simpler.
