Bash is not the best we can do, but it is definitely the best that most people agree on. I fear there will be no defacto bash replacement for many years.

- exyi 4y agoWhat do you mean by "agree on"? We never agreed the programming language, which means ... that I can choose whatever I like.
- naikrovek 4y agowhat's the default/defacto scripting language on all unix or unix-like operating systems? Bash. (except MacOS I guess) why? because it is the best thing that everyone can agree on as being the stock shell that should always be installed by default. until we collectively agree on a replacement, bash will remain, along with all of its problems and everyone will write for it because it's the standard shell that's always installed. many much better shells exist. we can't agree on what should supplant bash, and so it remains. everywhere.
