I'd say you're in the extreme minority then. I'm not a bash hacker but I usually end up writing a little script for myself at least once a month. Even just doing `command && command` is technically using a shell language

So you are using bash once in a while (once a month is not a lot for a programmer) for niche use case (the specialty of bash: short scripts).

Hence, you are making the point "little languages are not the future". It has found its local optimum.

I said I write custom scripts about once a month. I use bash literally every day. But I also wasn't arguing the future of programming languages. The parent here said that shell languages aren't being used
