I’ve been struggling with a rather complex shell script, and it’s becoming apparent that Bash might not be the best choice for this particular task. While I usually gravitate towards statically typed languages like Go or Rust, I’ve noticed that many people recommend alternative languages such as Lua or Python for scripting...
Compared to C++, Rust has a very good toolchain and libraries. With C++ setting up a project that has dependencies is… painful. I’m a full-time C++ programmer with over 8 years of experience and if I didn’t have to, I would never choose it for something new.
With Rust creating a new project and adding dependencies is trivial. There are a lot of great libraries and the ease with which you can use them is very empowering. Clap and serde are super powers for CLI programs 😀
For smaller scripts that don’t yet “deserve” full rust treatment, I now use nushell for personal projects.

Why when explaining, giving examples of shell command are people so often providing shortened arguments. It makes it all seam like some random letters you have to remeber by heart. Instead of -x just write --extract. If in the end they endup using the tool so often they need to write it fast they’ll check the shortcuts.
Making your own engine is worthwhile learning experience. The same as trying to recreate any of the foundational tools that you use. Might not be the fastest or best way to make a game but a good way to make yourself a better developer.
What are the recommended scripting languages for complex shell scripts beyond bash?
