Bash is a shit „language” and everytime i need to write the simplest thing in it I forget which variable expansion I should use and how many spaces are the right amount of spaces. It’s impossible to write nice to read bash, but even in C you can write code that comments itself.

It's perfectly possible to write nice to read bash, and to also make is safe to run and well-behaved on errors.

But all the three people that can do those (I'm not on the group) seem to be busy right now.

bash sucks but i don’t agree. Some simple rules like regularly use intermediate variables with useful names and never use shorthand arguments goes a long way.
