Hello,
More of my philosophy about Bash shell..
I am a white arab from Morocco, and i think i am smart since i have also invented many scalable algorithms and algorithms..
zsh, fish, ksh shells are not good for portability.
I will say that the most portable shell language on POSIX systems is the sh(bourne shell), and fish or zsh, are not even trying to be sh shell at
all, so if you want good portability, write using Bourne (or "bourne
again") shell, so i think bash shell is good for portability and it also
works in Windows, since the bash shell implements sh, with extensions,
and i will say that you can not compare Python to Bash, since python
is a programming language, but Bash is a command-line interpreter, and
bash shell is Turing-complete, and for smaller script Bash is good, so
it is also good for automation from the command line of operating
systems administration.
And i invite you to read the following interesting article about Bash so
that to be much more convinced:
Bash is more powerful than you think
