I mean, if you're trying to write anything more than a screenful in Bash
you should definitely use Ruby or Python IMNHO. The RVM (Ruby Version
Manager) project recently was raising money to pay a developer to port
~20,000 lines of Bash to Ruby, which is just embarrassing.

I wrote 250 lines of perl and forgot how it worked a day later ;) Write
it, ship it, forget about it.
