Is it just me or bash is repulsive to little more complicated solutions?

it probably depends on your experience with Bash.

I definitely like it for simple stuff and scripts and in some domains I can use it for some little complex stuff too

but much more often I'd go for Python if I need something actually complex because I'm very familiar with it.

Bash I understand and can build solutions with, but I don't have hours upon hours of experience with bash compared to python.

yeap yeap,
I guess with nodejs that I am trying to do with bash sometimes take me lot more time in bash.
maybe it's cause bash has that old school syntax, not very bendable . but yea it's just frustration also that sometimes you don't have to talk to anyone at the moment, so I posted a rant ;)

IMO, If you can't do it in bash do it in c.

The whole point of writing something in bash is mobility.

You can run a bash script on almost any Linux system without the need or worry of installing pre-reqs.

If you need anything more complex though, c is a really good(although complex in its own right) alternative.

yea you're right, this is for stuff that we run in bamboo. I guess node and bash goes well together. Maybe next time I will push through adding simple node for the whole server so I can call it anytime from my bash, cause I'm lazy to go bananas sometimes in bash
