Why hate on bash. I can do 95% of all my work in bash. Sometimes you need a little go, erlang or python. Maybe you're just overthinking and engineering the solutions? 5 liners sounds like bad scripts. Even the small simple ones I write are around 100 lines. With individual "functions", error message, usage and argparsing. I've written scripts a decade ago that are still running just fine. And, honestly, I'm not a very clever programmer, just mind my T's and I's.
One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.

KISS!
I have PTSD of trying to write complex bash scripts :)
Writing is one thing. Try supporting a bash script for several years with constantly changing requirements.
