This reminds me of another Larry Wall quote about the bad (old?) days: "It's easier to port a shell than a shell script." I'm honestly surprised and a bit disappointed that Bash isn't universal these days.

This seems like a really bad idea, since it apparently throws out good things like pipes, input/output redirection, wildcard expansion, and interactivity, but doesn't offer anything over the standard scripting languages.
