I agree, this is a misguided idea. The whole point of not using Bash is that you don't have to use it's terrible design and syntax surely?

This only seems to use the good parts of the shell, easy piping and redirection, while dropping the language for logic.

It also appears to use some bad parts, e.g. command line switches and unquoted arguments.

Unquoted argument is not an issue here, see some examples here: https://github.com/rust-shell-script/rust_cmd_lib/issues/10
