Almost everything that Bash is good at, other languages have already adopted with a superior syntax. The only thing Ba/sh type syntax has going for it is the *nix ecosystems (note the parallels with powershell). That will keep it used for the rest of our lifetimes, if you're only interested in short-term thinking. Ofc this is bigger thinking than the Powershell vs Bash debate, per se. Powershell is more useable as a language, if not by pure syntactic maturity, than by features alone. There will always be someone who will disagree with the obvious, but there's no doubt that the algol syntax is going away...however long that will take.
