Talking about gotchas and then recommend bash is not a sign of credibility in my book.
Bash has one strong point: 4 to 5 lines admin scripts for which concision and expressiveness matter more than anything else. That's it.
There is nothing else it can be better at than ruby, python, perl, php, or even go or kotlin.
The argument you need to learn x stands for bash as well, btw.
- hsn915 5y agoI only said to use bash for small scripts. Basically just a series of commands. Maybe setting up one or two environment variables. Anything more complex or involving "if" I would almost never write in bash.
