Bashible: An Ansible-inspired deployment/automation tool written in Bash DSL

Why POSIX sh? Bash is everywhere. I once in my career had access to and needed jobs performed on a mainframe with AIX running. It had bash, it had ruby, it had day, it had fish shell. I couldn't and can't understand why people insist on asceticism (Korn shell, POSIX sh) when nicer options are available.

Eh, I simply don't need bash.

Every few dozen scripts or so I'll change the shebang to bash to have more than 1 array, but other than that I seldom pine anything that it has to offer. I believe it's a bloated mess along with most GNU utils, so avoiding it is partially out of spite, but I wouldn't impair my code to do so.

*zsh ... Not "day"

dash is 10% of the size of bash. You don't need the interactive features when running shell scripts, and the few "extra" features are pretty crap anyway (arrays? yeah right).
