HN comment orderI don’t understand all the hate for bash or python in this thread. These are programming languages. Like all programming languages one must understand how to deploy them and use them properly. Yes bash has faults absolutely. It can be very arcane and esoteric and I think this due to the fact that it’s creators are very much of the old 1970s and 1980s Unix mindset and largely bash tools still feel like they work the way they did back…
Tangentially, http://www.shellcheck.net/ is an awesome static linter for shell code. Available online, as a command-line tool, but most importantly as a plugin for your favorite $EDITOR.
