Agreed, but not Bash. Bash should not be used for anything except interactive use. It's just way too error-prone and janky otherwise.

I am not at all a fan of Python but even so any script that you write in Bash would be better in Python (except stuff like installation scripts where you want as few dependencies as possible).

If it's worth saving in a file, it's worth not using Bash.
