For the "credit part" I think is Bash. The entire internet works because of it, including all the new shiny Continuous Deployment pipelines.
As for powerful ... depends with who you're talking to, choose the ones that they do not know anything about and they will be surprised. Now days mostly pure FP languages like Haskell, Java/C# are importing FP goodies and their devs still think it's OOP magic.

I could be a lot more knowledgeable about Bash, sure. But it could also have fewer footguns!
