Not GP, but without supporting bash scripts the tool isn't very useful to us

At the risk of an extreme facepalm moment given the {obvious danger, code smell, worst practice, etc.} I still feel compelled to ask: don't the languages already supported offer an execution gateway (like the backtick operator or shell_exec() in php) such that an extremely lightweight wrapper would allow this to run your bash scripts?

Not to mention most of my bash scripts are just wrappers around calling some other binary executables

100% but I assume they are requesting first-class support.

Well, from the description I gathered the service was going to “TURN (existing) scripts INTO internal tools”. Not “provide a front-end to a framework where you write brand new code to integrate with your business logic”… The first mode seems to add a relatively large amount of value for relatively low effort given the management scripts that already exist. The second seems more like a framework only useful for processes you spend the effort to migrate. Was hoping to see a Rundeck competitor but got an Internal competitor instead?
