Sure. I mean, I'm not being pure prescriptivist here; always good to explore and mess about with things. But if I'm getting a tad meta, I think there is generally enough of what you're doing (experts really hacking at things to push their limits) and not enough of what I think Bash/scripting could provide -- namely non-experts discovering "coding" NOT through the typical "start with a real language and do hello world" and instead through, "Here's bash; it's for stringing together other programs to do stuff."
