From a glance, it looks like very similar tradeoffs vs bash. Much harder to read in a medium-large application, but much more ergonomic IO and process control.

From a glance, it looks like very similar tradeoffs vs bash. Much harder to read in a medium-large application, but much more ergonomic IO and process control. I.e. much faster to use dgsh for a basic processing DAG, much more painful to use dgsh for a large ETL pipeline. Python with something like Prefect isn't something you'd use a REPL to bang out a one-off on, but it'd be more maintainable. dgsh would let you use a REPL to bang out a quick and dirty DAG.
