> I don't care for learning "good bash"

What language do you use for administering your own systems and automating your own tasks?

In my experience, people who oppose shell scripting spend little if any time administering their own systems (because they have basic requirements?). Your comment, which includes multiple references to your co-workers and zero references to your own systems or tasks, is an example of what I've observed.



True, I'm not a sys-admin. But I do monitor a few k8s clusters.

Most automated tasks I will write jobs for in Rust (as mentioned, it's a language I and others know well). That's what the rest our company tends to agree with.

I don't know anyone in our tech stack that makes grand use of bash to admin our systems. We're very strict that everything is in K8s. No ssh access to nodes.

Only really CI uses bash and I'd rather it didn't
