I hate writing bash scripts.
The second I need to put things into variables it all falls apart.

@ekaitz_zarraga certainly all my problems with bash is that I don't understand it.
Every time I fall back on my knowledge of real programming languages and I am always disappointed.
@ekaitz_zarraga @rune I think the biggest source of confusion and weird design in shell languages are barewords. There are few programming languages in daily use where barewords are so commonplace. And when you actually don't want the bareword parsing logic, you need to do lots of quoting like "${variable}".
