>Guess I'll just write my next project in Bash then, after all, if it's a good idea they will come right? Execution can wait until you've got a few hundred mil.
Yea actually. Bash/CGI could handle plenty. If thats your most comfortable language then go for it.
Bash is seriously underrated as a programming language these days.
About 80% of the code I now write is in bash, because usually the problem ones trying to solve has a trivial solution if you just use existing tooling in creative ways.
I don't disagree with your premise and I write plenty of bash and zsh scripts but "the creative ways" very often are a rabbit hole that exposes way too many edge cases.
At one point I wake up two hours later and realize I could have finished this in 15 minutes with Golang or even Ruby.
