        From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n
        \n
        Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).\n
        \n
        Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.\n

    +title: "Why are we stuck with bash programming language in the shell?"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      Bash-like scripting has become ubiquitous in operating systems, and it makes me wonder about its widespread adoption despite lacking certain programming conveniences found in other languages. While it may not be the ideal choice for large-scale software development, the bash shell possesses unique features that make it well-suited for interactive command-line processing, including pipelining, text manipulation, and file handling. Why isn’t there an alternative that combines the best of bash’s command-line capabilities with the robustness and scalability of traditional programming languages. Why do even new operating systems, such as Redox OS, opt for a similar syntax rather than a completely different programming language?\n
      \n
      Here are some of the limitations I find in Bash compared to other programming languages:\n
      \n
      1. Syntax and Expressiveness:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash has a relatively simple syntax compared to other programming languages. It lacks some advanced language features such as object-oriented programming, complex data structures, and advanced control flow constructs.\n
          - The syntax of Bash can be less intuitive and more error-prone, especially for complex tasks or larger projects.\n
      2. Performance:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash scripts can be slower compared to compiled languages like C or Java. This is because Bash is an interpreted language, and each line of code is interpreted at runtime.\n
          - Bash may not be the best choice for computationally intensive tasks or applications that require high performance.\n
      3. Error Handling and Debugging:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Error handling and debugging in Bash can be challenging. Bash does not provide robust error handling mechanisms, and error messages can be cryptic and difficult to interpret.\n
          - Debugging Bash scripts can be cumbersome, as there is limited tooling and debugging support compared to other programming languages.\n
      4. Portability:\n
          \n
          \n
          - While Bash is available on most Unix-like systems, it may not be available on all platforms or versions. This can limit the portability of Bash scripts.\n
          - Bash scripts may not work as expected on non-Unix systems or require modifications to run on different platforms.\n
      5. Limited Standard Library:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash has a limited standard library compared to other programming languages. It lacks comprehensive libraries for tasks such as networking, database access, or advanced data manipulation.\n
          - Bash often relies on external tools or utilities to perform complex operations, which can introduce dependencies and compatibility issues.\n
      6. Lack of Modularity and Reusability:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash scripts can become monolithic and difficult to maintain as they grow in size. Bash does not provide strong mechanisms for modularization or code reuse.\n
          - Reusing code or creating libraries in Bash can be challenging, leading to code duplication and decreased maintainability.

        From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n
        \n
        Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).\n
        \n
        Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.\n
        \n

    +title: "Why are we stuck with bash programming language in the shell?"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      Bash-like scripting has become ubiquitous in operating systems, and it makes me wonder about its widespread adoption despite lacking certain programming conveniences found in other languages. While it may not be the ideal choice for large-scale software development, the bash shell possesses unique features that make it well-suited for interactive command-line processing, including pipelining, text manipulation, and file handling. Why isn’t there an alternative that combines the best of bash’s command-line capabilities with the robustness and scalability of traditional programming languages. Why do even new operating systems, such as Redox OS, opt for a similar syntax rather than a completely different programming language?\n
      \n
      Here are some of the limitations I find in Bash compared to other programming languages:\n
      \n
      1. Syntax and Expressiveness:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash has a relatively simple syntax compared to other programming languages. It lacks some advanced language features such as object-oriented programming, complex data structures, and advanced control flow constructs.\n
          - The syntax of Bash can be less intuitive and more error-prone, especially for complex tasks or larger projects.\n
      2. Performance:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash scripts can be slower compared to compiled languages like C or Java. This is because Bash is an interpreted language, and each line of code is interpreted at runtime.\n
          - Bash may not be the best choice for computationally intensive tasks or applications that require high performance.\n
      3. Error Handling and Debugging:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Error handling and debugging in Bash can be challenging. Bash does not provide robust error handling mechanisms, and error messages can be cryptic and difficult to interpret.\n
          - Debugging Bash scripts can be cumbersome, as there is limited tooling and debugging support compared to other programming languages.\n
      4. Portability:\n
          \n
          \n
          - While Bash is available on most Unix-like systems, it may not be available on all platforms or versions. This can limit the portability of Bash scripts.\n
          - Bash scripts may not work as expected on non-Unix systems or require modifications to run on different platforms.\n
      5. Limited Standard Library:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash has a limited standard library compared to other programming languages. It lacks comprehensive libraries for tasks such as networking, database access, or advanced data manipulation.\n
          - Bash often relies on external tools or utilities to perform complex operations, which can introduce dependencies and compatibility issues.\n
      6. Lack of Modularity and Reusability:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash scripts can become monolithic and difficult to maintain as they grow in size. Bash does not provide strong mechanisms for modularization or code reuse.\n
          - Reusing code or creating libraries in Bash can be challenging, leading to code duplication and decreased maintainability.

        From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n
        \n
        Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).\n
        \n
        Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.\n

    +title: "Why are we stuck with bash programming language in the shell?"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      Bash-like scripting has become ubiquitous in operating systems, and it makes me wonder about its widespread adoption despite lacking certain programming conveniences found in other languages. While it may not be the ideal choice for large-scale software development, the bash shell possesses unique features that make it well-suited for interactive command-line processing, including pipelining, text manipulation, and file handling. Why isn’t there an alternative that combines the best of bash’s command-line capabilities with the robustness and scalability of traditional programming languages. Why do even new operating systems, such as Redox OS, opt for a similar syntax rather than a completely different programming language?\n
      \n
      Here are some of the limitations I find in Bash compared to other programming languages:\n
      \n
      1. Syntax and Expressiveness:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash has a relatively simple syntax compared to other programming languages. It lacks some advanced language features such as object-oriented programming, complex data structures, and advanced control flow constructs.\n
          - The syntax of Bash can be less intuitive and more error-prone, especially for complex tasks or larger projects.\n
      2. Performance:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash scripts can be slower compared to compiled languages like C or Java. This is because Bash is an interpreted language, and each line of code is interpreted at runtime.\n
          - Bash may not be the best choice for computationally intensive tasks or applications that require high performance.\n
      3. Error Handling and Debugging:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Error handling and debugging in Bash can be challenging. Bash does not provide robust error handling mechanisms, and error messages can be cryptic and difficult to interpret.\n
          - Debugging Bash scripts can be cumbersome, as there is limited tooling and debugging support compared to other programming languages.\n
      4. Portability:\n
          \n
          \n
          - While Bash is available on most Unix-like systems, it may not be available on all platforms or versions. This can limit the portability of Bash scripts.\n
          - Bash scripts may not work as expected on non-Unix systems or require modifications to run on different platforms.\n
      5. Limited Standard Library:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash has a limited standard library compared to other programming languages. It lacks comprehensive libraries for tasks such as networking, database access, or advanced data manipulation.\n
          - Bash often relies on external tools or utilities to perform complex operations, which can introduce dependencies and compatibility issues.\n
      6. Lack of Modularity and Reusability:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash scripts can become monolithic and difficult to maintain as they grow in size. Bash does not provide strong mechanisms for modularization or code reuse.\n
          - Reusing code or creating libraries in Bash can be challenging, leading to code duplication and decreased maintainability.

    +title: "Why are we stuck with bash programming language in the shell?"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      Bash-like scripting has become ubiquitous in operating systems, and it makes me wonder about its widespread adoption despite lacking certain programming conveniences found in other languages. While it may not be the ideal choice for large-scale software development, the bash shell possesses unique features that make it well-suited for interactive command-line processing, including pipelining, text manipulation, and file handling. Why isn’t there an alternative that combines the best of bash’s command-line capabilities with the robustness and scalability of traditional programming languages. Why do even new operating systems, such as Redox OS, opt for a similar syntax rather than a completely different programming language?\n
      \n
      Here are some of the limitations I find in Bash compared to other programming languages:\n
      \n
      1. Syntax and Expressiveness:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash has a relatively simple syntax compared to other programming languages. It lacks some advanced language features such as object-oriented programming, complex data structures, and advanced control flow constructs.\n
          - The syntax of Bash can be less intuitive and more error-prone, especially for complex tasks or larger projects.\n
      2. Performance:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash scripts can be slower compared to compiled languages like C or Java. This is because Bash is an interpreted language, and each line of code is interpreted at runtime.\n
          - Bash may not be the best choice for computationally intensive tasks or applications that require high performance.\n
      3. Error Handling and Debugging:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Error handling and debugging in Bash can be challenging. Bash does not provide robust error handling mechanisms, and error messages can be cryptic and difficult to interpret.\n
          - Debugging Bash scripts can be cumbersome, as there is limited tooling and debugging support compared to other programming languages.\n
      4. Portability:\n
          \n
          \n
          - While Bash is available on most Unix-like systems, it may not be available on all platforms or versions. This can limit the portability of Bash scripts.\n
          - Bash scripts may not work as expected on non-Unix systems or require modifications to run on different platforms.\n
      5. Limited Standard Library:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash has a limited standard library compared to other programming languages. It lacks comprehensive libraries for tasks such as networking, database access, or advanced data manipulation.\n
          - Bash often relies on external tools or utilities to perform complex operations, which can introduce dependencies and compatibility issues.\n
      6. Lack of Modularity and Reusability:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash scripts can become monolithic and difficult to maintain as they grow in size. Bash does not provide strong mechanisms for modularization or code reuse.\n
          - Reusing code or creating libraries in Bash can be challenging, leading to code duplication and decreased maintainability.

      1. Syntax and Expressiveness:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash has a relatively simple syntax compared to other programming languages. It lacks some advanced language features such as object-oriented programming, complex data structures, and advanced control flow constructs.\n
          - The syntax of Bash can be less intuitive and more error-prone, especially for complex tasks or larger projects.\n
      2. Performance:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash scripts can be slower compared to compiled languages like C or Java. This is because Bash is an interpreted language, and each line of code is interpreted at runtime.\n
          - Bash may not be the best choice for computationally intensive tasks or applications that require high performance.\n
      3. Error Handling and Debugging:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Error handling and debugging in Bash can be challenging. Bash does not provide robust error handling mechanisms, and error messages can be cryptic and difficult to interpret.\n
          - Debugging Bash scripts can be cumbersome, as there is limited tooling and debugging support compared to other programming languages.\n
      4. Portability:\n
          \n
          \n
          - While Bash is available on most Unix-like systems, it may not be available on all platforms or versions. This can limit the portability of Bash scripts.\n
          - Bash scripts may not work as expected on non-Unix systems or require modifications to run on different platforms.\n
      5. Limited Standard Library:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash has a limited standard library compared to other programming languages. It lacks comprehensive libraries for tasks such as networking, database access, or advanced data manipulation.\n
          - Bash often relies on external tools or utilities to perform complex operations, which can introduce dependencies and compatibility issues.\n
      6. Lack of Modularity and Reusability:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash scripts can become monolithic and difficult to maintain as they grow in size. Bash does not provide strong mechanisms for modularization or code reuse.\n
          - Reusing code or creating libraries in Bash can be challenging, leading to code duplication and decreased maintainability.

        Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).\n
        \n
        Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.\n

    +url: null
    +body: """
      Bash-like scripting has become ubiquitous in operating systems, and it makes me wonder about its widespread adoption despite lacking certain programming conveniences found in other languages. While it may not be the ideal choice for large-scale software development, the bash shell possesses unique features that make it well-suited for interactive command-line processing, including pipelining, text manipulation, and file handling. Why isn’t there an alternative that combines the best of bash’s command-line capabilities with the robustness and scalability of traditional programming languages. Why do even new operating systems, such as Redox OS, opt for a similar syntax rather than a completely different programming language?\n
      \n
      Here are some of the limitations I find in Bash compared to other programming languages:\n
      \n

      2. Performance:\n

        From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n
        \n
        Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).\n
        \n
        Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.\n

    +title: "Why are we stuck with bash programming language in the shell?"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      Bash-like scripting has become ubiquitous in operating systems, and it makes me wonder about its widespread adoption despite lacking certain programming conveniences found in other languages. While it may not be the ideal choice for large-scale software development, the bash shell possesses unique features that make it well-suited for interactive command-line processing, including pipelining, text manipulation, and file handling. Why isn’t there an alternative that combines the best of bash’s command-line capabilities with the robustness and scalability of traditional programming languages. Why do even new operating systems, such as Redox OS, opt for a similar syntax rather than a completely different programming language?\n
      \n
      Here are some of the limitations I find in Bash compared to other programming languages:\n
      \n
      1. Syntax and Expressiveness:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash has a relatively simple syntax compared to other programming languages. It lacks some advanced language features such as object-oriented programming, complex data structures, and advanced control flow constructs.\n
          - The syntax of Bash can be less intuitive and more error-prone, especially for complex tasks or larger projects.\n
      2. Performance:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash scripts can be slower compared to compiled languages like C or Java. This is because Bash is an interpreted language, and each line of code is interpreted at runtime.\n
          - Bash may not be the best choice for computationally intensive tasks or applications that require high performance.\n
      3. Error Handling and Debugging:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Error handling and debugging in Bash can be challenging. Bash does not provide robust error handling mechanisms, and error messages can be cryptic and difficult to interpret.\n
          - Debugging Bash scripts can be cumbersome, as there is limited tooling and debugging support compared to other programming languages.\n
      4. Portability:\n
          \n
          \n
          - While Bash is available on most Unix-like systems, it may not be available on all platforms or versions. This can limit the portability of Bash scripts.\n
          - Bash scripts may not work as expected on non-Unix systems or require modifications to run on different platforms.\n
      5. Limited Standard Library:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash has a limited standard library compared to other programming languages. It lacks comprehensive libraries for tasks such as networking, database access, or advanced data manipulation.\n
          - Bash often relies on external tools or utilities to perform complex operations, which can introduce dependencies and compatibility issues.\n
      6. Lack of Modularity and Reusability:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash scripts can become monolithic and difficult to maintain as they grow in size. Bash does not provide strong mechanisms for modularization or code reuse.\n
          - Reusing code or creating libraries in Bash can be challenging, leading to code duplication and decreased maintainability.

        From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n
        \n
        Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).\n
        \n
        Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.\n

    +title: "Why are we stuck with bash programming language in the shell?"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      Bash-like scripting has become ubiquitous in operating systems, and it makes me wonder about its widespread adoption despite lacking certain programming conveniences found in other languages. While it may not be the ideal choice for large-scale software development, the bash shell possesses unique features that make it well-suited for interactive command-line processing, including pipelining, text manipulation, and file handling. Why isn’t there an alternative that combines the best of bash’s command-line capabilities with the robustness and scalability of traditional programming languages. Why do even new operating systems, such as Redox OS, opt for a similar syntax rather than a completely different programming language?\n
      \n
      Here are some of the limitations I find in Bash compared to other programming languages:\n
      \n
      1. Syntax and Expressiveness:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash has a relatively simple syntax compared to other programming languages. It lacks some advanced language features such as object-oriented programming, complex data structures, and advanced control flow constructs.\n
          - The syntax of Bash can be less intuitive and more error-prone, especially for complex tasks or larger projects.\n
      2. Performance:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash scripts can be slower compared to compiled languages like C or Java. This is because Bash is an interpreted language, and each line of code is interpreted at runtime.\n
          - Bash may not be the best choice for computationally intensive tasks or applications that require high performance.\n
      3. Error Handling and Debugging:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Error handling and debugging in Bash can be challenging. Bash does not provide robust error handling mechanisms, and error messages can be cryptic and difficult to interpret.\n
          - Debugging Bash scripts can be cumbersome, as there is limited tooling and debugging support compared to other programming languages.\n
      4. Portability:\n
          \n
          \n
          - While Bash is available on most Unix-like systems, it may not be available on all platforms or versions. This can limit the portability of Bash scripts.\n
          - Bash scripts may not work as expected on non-Unix systems or require modifications to run on different platforms.\n
      5. Limited Standard Library:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash has a limited standard library compared to other programming languages. It lacks comprehensive libraries for tasks such as networking, database access, or advanced data manipulation.\n
          - Bash often relies on external tools or utilities to perform complex operations, which can introduce dependencies and compatibility issues.\n
      6. Lack of Modularity and Reusability:\n
          \n
          \n
          - Bash scripts can become monolithic and difficult to maintain as they grow in size. Bash does not provide strong mechanisms for modularization or code reuse.\n
          - Reusing code or creating libraries in Bash can be challenging, leading to code duplication and decreased maintainability.

          From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n
          \n
          Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).\n
          \n
          Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.\n

      +title: "Why are we stuck with bash programming language in the shell?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        Bash-like scripting has become ubiquitous in operating systems, and it makes me wonder about its widespread adoption despite lacking certain programming conveniences found in other languages. While it may not be the ideal choice for large-scale software development, the bash shell possesses unique features that make it well-suited for interactive command-line processing, including pipelining, text manipulation, and file handling. Why isn’t there an alternative that combines the best of bash’s command-line capabilities with the robustness and scalability of traditional programming languages. Why do even new operating systems, such as Redox OS, opt for a similar syntax rather than a completely different programming language?\n
        \n
        Here are some of the limitations I find in Bash compared to other programming languages:\n
        \n
        1. Syntax and Expressiveness:\n
            \n
            \n
            - Bash has a relatively simple syntax compared to other programming languages. It lacks some advanced language features such as object-oriented programming, complex data structures, and advanced control flow constructs.\n
            - The syntax of Bash can be less intuitive and more error-prone, especially for complex tasks or larger projects.\n
        2. Performance:\n
            \n
            \n
            - Bash scripts can be slower compared to compiled languages like C or Java. This is because Bash is an interpreted language, and each line of code is interpreted at runtime.\n
            - Bash may not be the best choice for computationally intensive tasks or applications that require high performance.\n
        3. Error Handling and Debugging:\n
            \n
            \n
            - Error handling and debugging in Bash can be challenging. Bash does not provide robust error handling mechanisms, and error messages can be cryptic and difficult to interpret.\n
            - Debugging Bash scripts can be cumbersome, as there is limited tooling and debugging support compared to other programming languages.\n
        4. Portability:\n
            \n
            \n
            - While Bash is available on most Unix-like systems, it may not be available on all platforms or versions. This can limit the portability of Bash scripts.\n
            - Bash scripts may not work as expected on non-Unix systems or require modifications to run on different platforms.\n
        5. Limited Standard Library:\n
            \n
            \n
            - Bash has a limited standard library compared to other programming languages. It lacks comprehensive libraries for tasks such as networking, database access, or advanced data manipulation.\n
            - Bash often relies on external tools or utilities to perform complex operations, which can introduce dependencies and compatibility issues.\n
        6. Lack of Modularity and Reusability:\n
            \n
            \n
            - Bash scripts can become monolithic and difficult to maintain as they grow in size. Bash does not provide strong mechanisms for modularization or code reuse.\n
            - Reusing code or creating libraries in Bash can be challenging, leading to code duplication and decreased maintainability.

      It’s here, it’s there, it’s everywhere. The problem with replacing things that work with something “better” is that “better” is subjective, so you end up with a new “better” way every few years, and maintaining existing systems becomes a god awful slog. See the JavaScript ecosystem.\n
      \n
      The bash I wrote 10 years ago still works today, and it will still work in 10 more years. The same bash will very likely work on your computer, on a remote server, etc. This is the power of not chasing “better” all the time.\n
      \n
      Try running a Ruby or Node program from 10 years ago today on your computer. Now, try running it on a random Linux server.\n
      \n
      Please do not take this as a slight against Ruby or Node, or any other high level programming language. Bash compared to those is simply apples and oranges, they are not the same thing.\n
      \n
      By all means, if you have a project that requires a Ruby runtime anyway, write operational scripts with Ruby, run them with Rake, etc.\n
      \n
      Want a portable script that doesn’t depend on a complex runtime? Use bash.\n
      \n
      If bash is too limiting, use Perl. No, seriously. Perl is fine. It is about as ubiquitously available as bash, and the standard library likely has what you need to get the job done. People blindly dismiss Perl because some blog post told them to, usually in the context of writing application code. You’re not writing application code, you’re writing scripts. Would you write an application with bash? No.

          Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).\n
          \n
          Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.\n

      +title: "Why are we stuck with bash programming language in the shell?"
      +url: null
      +body: """
        Bash-like scripting has become ubiquitous in operating systems, and it makes me wonder about its widespread adoption despite lacking certain programming conveniences found in other languages. While it may not be the ideal choice for large-scale software development, the bash shell possesses unique features that make it well-suited for interactive command-line processing, including pipelining, text manipulation, and file handling. Why isn’t there an alternative that combines the best of bash’s command-line capabilities with the robustness and scalability of traditional programming languages. Why do even new operating systems, such as Redox OS, opt for a similar syntax rather than a completely different programming language?\n
        \n
        Here are some of the limitations I find in Bash compared to other programming languages:\n
        \n
        1. Syntax and Expressiveness:\n
            \n
            \n
            - Bash has a relatively simple syntax compared to other programming languages. It lacks some advanced language features such as object-oriented programming, complex data structures, and advanced control flow constructs.\n
            - The syntax of Bash can be less intuitive and more error-prone, especially for complex tasks or larger projects.\n
        2. Performance:\n
            \n
            \n
            - Bash scripts can be slower compared to compiled languages like C or Java. This is because Bash is an interpreted language, and each line of code is interpreted at runtime.\n
            - Bash may not be the best choice for computationally intensive tasks or applications that require high performance.\n
        3. Error Handling and Debugging:\n
            \n
            \n
            - Error handling and debugging in Bash can be challenging. Bash does not provide robust error handling mechanisms, and error messages can be cryptic and difficult to interpret.\n
            - Debugging Bash scripts can be cumbersome, as there is limited tooling and debugging support compared to other programming languages.\n
        4. Portability:\n
            \n
            \n
            - While Bash is available on most Unix-like systems, it may not be available on all platforms or versions. This can limit the portability of Bash scripts.\n
            - Bash scripts may not work as expected on non-Unix systems or require modifications to run on different platforms.\n
        5. Limited Standard Library:\n
            \n
            \n
            - Bash has a limited standard library compared to other programming languages. It lacks comprehensive libraries for tasks such as networking, database access, or advanced data manipulation.\n
            - Bash often relies on external tools or utilities to perform complex operations, which can introduce dependencies and compatibility issues.\n
        6. Lack of Modularity and Reusability:\n
            \n
            \n
            - Bash scripts can become monolithic and difficult to maintain as they grow in size. Bash does not provide strong mechanisms for modularization or code reuse.\n
            - Reusing code or creating libraries in Bash can be challenging, leading to code duplication and decreased maintainability.

      It’s here, it’s there, it’s everywhere. The problem with replacing things that work with something “better” is that “better” is subjective, so you end up with a new “better” way every few years, and maintaining existing systems becomes a god awful slog. See the JavaScript ecosystem.\n
      \n
      The bash I wrote 10 years ago still works today, and it will still work in 10 more years. The same bash will very likely work on your computer, on a remote server, etc. This is the power of not chasing “better” all the time.\n
      \n
      Try running a Ruby or Node program from 10 years ago today on your computer. Now, try running it on a random Linux server.\n
      \n
      Please do not take this as a slight against Ruby or Node, or any other high level programming language. Bash compared to those is simply apples and oranges, they are not the same thing.\n
      \n
      By all means, if you have a project that requires a Ruby runtime anyway, write operational scripts with Ruby, run them with Rake, etc.\n
      \n
      Want a portable script that doesn’t depend on a complex runtime? Use bash.\n
      \n
      If bash is too limiting, use Perl. No, seriously. Perl is fine. It is about as ubiquitously available as bash, and the standard library likely has what you need to get the job done. People blindly dismiss Perl because some blog post told them to, usually in the context of writing application code. You’re not writing application code, you’re writing scripts. Would you write an application with bash? No.
