Like others said it depends on each problem you are solving. Consider Java, nodejs, go, rust, ruby, python, c# - the one you know best is the best. Build up some Util classes for stuff you do regularly. NPM has a package for everything eg there is a cron so I like it for that reason. Consider docker for some situations. Consider kubernetes if the need is more devops/ running a production system. Consider powershell if on windows. Travis ci / Jenkins / appveyor etc. for CI Be lazy - can I get out of writing this code should be in the forefront of your mind (for any code!). The answer might be no but consider it. No code tools can be considered - Google sheets, Wordpress, plethora of saas to do this. Paas eg aws lambda etc. So many options. Solve the problem, rather than transliterate bash.
