Who said you had to migrate away from existing bash code? You can just start writing new scripts in whatever language you want. Especially if it's a shell language and you're communicating via argv/stdin anyway. The continued existence of bash doesn't mean that you can't use anything else. Did C go away when Ruby/Python/Perl et al came into being? Or did people keep on writing both?
