Bash's syntax is objectively horrible. But I kinda love that. I enjoy how weird and inconsistent it is. Cos it's just something that's gown organically over time.

But what I *really* love about bash scripting is just stringing standard commands together to do stuff. Not having to worry about libraries or frameworks or language-specific package managers.

I'm absolutely done with frameworks and languages that have their own package managers. It's always horrible.

The cool kids are into Lisp these days. The kids that are too cool for python/rust/go.

Some people should never be allowed to teach or offer tutorials  :'-D
