I’ve written a ridiculous number of shell scripts to automate many many things. It’s great for doing something now, and it’s great as a way to interact with a machine. It is not great in all cases. Particularly: array handling is bad, it’s slow if you start using actual Bashisms, very few younger devs seem to know it. The shell is great cuz it’s there and it can cover about 50% of use cases for server side automation, but it’s bad for the reasons mentioned above. I love it and I hate it.
