Or use tests and/or a debugger. Which gives you all the listed benefits w/o an additional dependency.

You can also check in an .sdkmanrc into each respective project which defines the required Java version.
Then SDKMAN! will perform the switch automatically when you enter the directory.

Use the builtin Result class and runCatching/fold and be done with it. Yes, it has shortcomings but works well enough in practice.

This is honestly the main reason I prefer Playwright to Cypress. Playwright leans heavily into using POs, while for some reason Cypress doesn't.
So in almost every project the Cypress tests are a procedural mess, while the Playwright tests are mostly well structured.
I know that Cypress has other patterns for dealing with this but they never seem to get applied.

Bash has no standard library. It has builtins, and commands. And commands are just external tools.

It's basically a "final" final value, which allows some optimization which were not possible yet. And the reason why final not meant "final" in all cases was serialization.

That's why I prefer test frameworks that make parametrised tests so easy that they become the default.

Re:Java in the Small

Kotlin is much better in that regard.
I use Kotlin scripts (.main.kts) as a replacement for Bash scripts for years.
You can inline dependencies without additional tooling, and Kotlin is still much more expressive than Java.
