That’s a big if. I worked on a shell based tool for a couple years and eventually accumulated the know-how and toolset to write reliable code; but nobody else could contribute as the learning curve was too great.
I switched to Ruby for all new tools and never looked back. Performance is rarely a concern in this territory, and you can always offload heavy work to another process.
