I agree. However, we had to create complex C "standards" for dos and don'ts in order to _try_ to write safe code.

And C is still omnipresent. So there must be some other characteristic of Bash that makes it not fit for this age (or some characteristic of C that makes it irreplaceable, that Bash does not have)

And actively being replaced by rust each day because those "standards" are obviously not enough.

And there is some other characteristic of C - its portable.
