While there certainly is some overlap, Python is a scripting language and not a shell language. Some tasks that involve calling lots of different programs and juggling input and output streams are much easier done in bash than in Python.
Absolutely true, it was more of a joke because Python is being used for pretty much anything today. I really don’t want to mess with correct indentation in my terminal.
I think fish is simply fantastic. Not only is it significantly more readable than most other shell languages, it was also recently rewritten in Rust (still in testing I think), which gives me a lot of confidence when it comes to your typical vulnerabilities.
I mean sure, a Rust vulnerability the reason we’re talking, but let’s not forget how valuable memory and thread safety are.
I won’t argue with you that bash is janky and easily insecure, but what shell language do you think should replace bash?
Python😎
