- wpm 2y agoWork out of the box on any macOS/Linux computer.
- ayakang31415 2y agoYou use Bash for that not because it is better, but because UNIX related binaries are configured in Bash.
- cassianoleal 2y agoIs there anything Python does that Bash can't do? There are many reasons to use either. Probably about as many as there are to use the other. Choose wisely.
- ayakang31415 2y agoYeah, lots of things Python can do but Bash cannot simply because of vast selection of third party modules available in Python.
- cassianoleal 2y agoI agree that something which requires a "vast selection of third party modules" is probably not the kind of thing you'd do in Bash. That's a strawman though. I don't want to have to install a "vast selection of third party modules" just so I can run `kubectl apply -f foobar/*` on my CI pipeline.
