One thing that I don’t think anyone else has mentioned is data structures. Bash does have arrays and hashmaps at least but I’ve found that working with them is significantly more awkward than in e.g. python. This is one of several reasons for why bash doesn’t scale up well, but sure for small enough scripts it can be fine (if you don’t care about windows)
