Then they can disregard my advice obviously. But I saw plenty of others in this thread who seemed interested in it genuinely for practical reasons, and with all the times I've seen young devs disregard old mature solutions, I thought it'd be worth mentioning. Besides, "runs anywhere bash does" isn't really useful for a personal project. Work is where you're likely to run into a weird variety of legacy machines, not in a personal project where you have more control. Regardless, the weird aversion to hearing advice that can just be disregarded if it doesn't apply to your case baffles me.
