I used to somehow think Bash scripts were ideal given that they were fairly transparent, but I'll take a Go app or Rust program anyday now over something written in shell script. shfmt is an example.

Well, they are fairly transparent.

The problem is, they have a tendency to suddenly get horribly intransparent when they grow larger than maybe a few dozen lines.
