Bash is seriously underrated as a programming language these days.
About 80% of the code I now write is in bash, because usually the problem ones trying to solve has a trivial solution if you just use existing tooling in creative ways.

At one point I wake up two hours later and realize I could have finished this in 15 minutes with Golang or even Ruby.
