    Python’s usually the better choice anyway tbf. I know piping isn’t as good, but there are so many footguns!

    Nushell and Fish can be really convenient too.

    I used to adhere to sh for an OpenBSD machine but I switched to python, Rust and Go for, even simple things.

      Python is just as portable these days (on modern hardware, caveats, caveats).

      Honestly so intuitive that I start there too unless I have a need for speed or distinct memory control. There’s no job too small for a python script.
