In this case the shell hasn’t aged well. Besides the globing feature, the bash language is arcane and few can actually reliably write correct bash despite it being ubiquitous. Personally I would like to see a completely reimagined take on the shell.

Have you looked at powershell, scsh or fish?

shellcheck helps a ton, though.
