Also, see my comment about kotlin scripting (kts) elsewhere in this thread. But, in short, you can write kts shell scripts; import any library you want, use anything in the JVM or the Kotlin or Java library ecosystem that you need, etc. Works on the command line (you need a jvm and kotlin installed from your favorite package manager).
