I have a joy of programming in bash. Another language might be fun but the real joy lies in expressing oneself, solving a problem, getting the bon mot - its past bedtime and I have for the first time in a year found myself doing salaried work after hours for the fun of it

I started programming I'm bash a few months ago, and also found it enjoyable. But the part I found enjoyable wasn't just programming in bash. The part I loved was making scripts to automate all kinds of stuff and make my life easier—automate updating my yum repo, automate building my Docker images, make some install scripts for whatever I need when I distrohop, and little scripts to backing up and restoring my dotfiles.

If another language/shell, like zsh or fish was the preinstalled default, I'd program in that instead, but because of its basically-universal install base, I program in bash.

Oh, yeah. Bash rules. (Perhaps because I don't know zsh or fish, but hey! it rules for me.)

I guess I meant joy, even in something like bash... the joy lies in coding not in the language
