I think your parent poster is implying that they don’t use Bash for complex programs.

I believe that was the implication, too.

One's level of expertise will determine what is "too complex for $SHELL". When that point is reached, it's time to switch to something else, not time to add more features to $SHELL.

(If, when something becomes too complex for $SHELL, you switch to assembly, you might be too much of a $SHELL expert!)
