Oh the bash scripts had nothing to do with deployment, they just fixed the data that the buggy deployment created. It's only relevant because the high level of encapsulation that made deps easy to manage also represented a barrier. Using diff and awk was fast enough, the reimplementation in java wasn't (happened just a few times). Language ecosystems with a more permeable encapsulation style make it easier to reference tools outside of that ecosystem at the cost of making it harder to get your deps straight.
