What Python is to Java, Bash is to Python.
Many simple file and data munging tasks can be done on cli 100x faster with 10x less code than Python, using rudimentary bash-fu.
I already see a wave of Python undoing in the data world. Python becoming the cobol of this field.

My bash text munging is still pretty rudimentary. I'd love to get to journeyman text smash status.

- cushychicken 5y agoI may give it a try - I have a bias to stuff that comes preinstalled, though, as I know I'll always have the chance to use it on a stock linux box.
