At least on macOS, Apple strongly discourages depending on the builtin scripting languages, and AFAIK python is no longer preinstalled (instead installing Xcode for the first time will slip a python3.9.x and pip3 into your /usr/bin).
Of course you can depend on zsh/bash, but then the Apple UNIX tools are BSD flavoured, not GNU flavoured like on Linux, so Linux shell scripts will also quite often not work out of the box on macOS.
- rini17 2y agoYes, Apple seems to strongly discourage any kind of scripting which they can not squeeze more money from. But that's not really the same problem.
