    > need to know of a million tiny gotchas to implement even the simplest task safely and portably

    While this is clearly exaggeration, I'm not sure I find much merit in the argument.

    C is full of gotchas, footguns, and a tremendous threat vector. But it is also the standard for many uses.

    Yes, bash has legacy cruft, and potentially confusing ways of doing things. But for the realm in which it operates, it is extremely effective. We can make an argument for what we believe the perfect shell scripting language would be--but that doesn't exist. Bash is the current tool for addressing this category of problems.

    The intention of this bullet point was to illustrate that just as I wouldn't work in an industry/role requiring C tools, and instead turn to some weird, novel, riddled-with-problems transpiler... I'd just learn C.

    (P.S., bats[0] and shellcheck[1] address many problems noted in this thread.)
