This. I still write plenty of bash scripts, but I’ve noticed that except for really simple cases, I very quickly reach a point where I would have been better off using Python instead. And when I start with a Python scripts I often end up redoing it in Rust for a variety of reasons. It’s just easy to underestimate how serious a programming project is. At least I’ve never started something in bash that I needed to migrate to Rust.
(I think a lot of people would see Go as the next logical step from Python, but I personally find some things about Go really irritating.)
