Even so, the single most attractive trait of bash is that it ships with almost everything. If I have to write a script on a machine with no internet, then bash is the only option. This its strongest source of staying power.

You would likely have a regular sh, be it bash in "sh-mode" or a real sh, plus likely csh and maybe ksh. You'd probably also have awk, and maybe even perl.

perl is everywhere, but like python, it's power is in it's modules.

and those are not everywhere.
