There are many simple tasks in a typical multiyear project. Most of my scripts are between 100 and 1000 lines of code. Example: https://github.com/majkinetor/S

There are many simple tasks in a typical multiyear project. Most of my scripts are between 100 and 1000 lines of code. Example: https://github.com/majkinetor/SSImport https://github.com/majkinetor/SSImport That script made noticeable difference in speed, quality and pleasure on our recent project (production tests on payment gateway for half of the country) as before I wrote it, devs did it by hand which took 10s of minutes every day with awkward tools (if they made an error, even more) and they complained about the chore. The script literarry replaces entire feature of the Sql Server Management Studio and I did it during the weekend. Regarding syntax, not sure why would you consider that awkward. IMO, it can't be easier to read in any language, both configuration and code.
