Yea. Or test the heck out of it. Once it works, it tends to work well.

It took me ~8 years (so far, I'm sure there is a bug somewhere) and considerable #bash advice to make a simple script that locks commands+args https://github.com/jakeogh/commandlock

I also wrote a MDA wrapper for gnupg, and again, it took years to feel good about having my mail filter through it https://github.com/jakeogh/gpgmda

Now that py has pathlib, if it's more than a few lines, py with @click is just way better. All that is really missing is cleaner copy/move abstractions.

There are also some features that are missing from all shells... like the ability of a script to know if expansion happened before it got $@... that internal state just isn't exposed.
