> One of my coworkers gave me some great perspective by saying, "at least it's not written in Bash!"

I wish bash was the thing that was dying. As an industry, we need to make better choices.

There’s nothing that can replace bash for what it does. People have been trying for decades. You’ll be happier if you accept that bash can and will happily coexist with anything and everything else, which is exactly why it will never go away.
