Thanks for your comment, I've just donated too.

As I read it, the article is more about the concept of scripting in general - and not about any specific language bash/zsh/powershell/etc.

I definitely agree, I think that POSIX-shell scripts can often be completely unreadable and difficult to maintain. But I think the concept of scripting in itself is fine, even though the implementations we might use today are slightly outdated.

At the moment there's a huge number of interactive shells like nushell and xonsh being built, but they don't really focus on scripting; I'd really love to see more competitors attempting to take on the mess of bash scripts.
