Interesting -- where in my post did you discover this "belief" of 
yours.  I'm not a Bash fanatic -- I use it when it makes sense, and 
switch to something else when it does not.

Nope -- and that is your statement now, after you've perused the 
responses and changed your stance.

But your original post, and sadly a majority of your responses throughout 
this thread, was simply advocating replacing one fanatical attachment 
(to Bash) with a different fanatical attachment (Python).

It is only very recent posts where your wording has shifted to your 
current "use it where it makes sense to do so, but don't try to twist 
it to fit something it isn't suitable for".

Which, I might note, is also very true of your favorite Python.  There 
are likely some specific problems where a different language is even 
more suitable than your present favorite and a switch would be better 
there than trying to beat Python to fit that problem.  Note there are 
less examples of these for Python than there are examples of problems 
better suited for something other than Bash.
