You are just trolling here, friend.

No one in this discussion is hating Bash, no matter how much you like to throw that around. No one is telling it's a mistake to use Bash; there are just alternative tools that might serve you better depending on the use case. No one is coming to delete your Bash scripts.

Like I said, you are intentionally drawing a straw man argument to this discussion which is not welcome here nor does it contribute to anything. Let it go, take a walk, and chill.

Being a good developer or not isn't the issue. It's your choice of language.

Calling out statements as being opinion is fine. Disagreeing with them and providing a better option is fine. But calling them lies and insulting the intelligence of the author? That's not fine.

I'm guessing from the quality of your English that it's not your native language. Perhaps there's a misunderstanding here in terminology. For example, "lie" is not the same as "falsehood." The former implies malicious intent, whereas the latter does not.
