Yeah, my general rule of thumb is that as soon as I need any sort of imperative control flow (like an `if` or a loop, rather than just pipes or `&&`/||`), I stop using shell scripts when able. Sometimes if it's something like a shared build script or something that needs to run in CI across various platforms, it's still necessary to use shell scripting, but if something is just for me, I can use whatever I want, and it won't be a shell script. In the past I've actually preferred Ruby to Python due to easier use of stuff like regexes and inline shell commands (but tend not to define custom classes or anything when doing simple shell helpers), but nowadays I tend to just write things in Rust and compile them to static binaries with musl. In the past I think I've leaned too hard into trying to make things extensible and configurable in case other people would find it more useful that way, and I end up allowing the scope to creep until I eventually burn out and move on to other things. Allowing myself to use the language I want and hardcode things to make it config free and reduce the number of options needed is somewhat liberating.
