From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I still love bash. I'm able to accomplish quite a lot with it. I vote bash.
Also vote bash, but I don't love it..more of a tolerate.
Bash? On windows it's pretty much unusable even if you use cygwin. Python or Lua are the only reasonable suggestions here
I just assumed the scripts would run on Linux.
Nah, gross. You need to set a bunch of global options to get sane behavior on errors.
Nushell is shaping up really really nicely, and it'll actually stop executing if something fails! Even if that happens in a pipe! And it's not super eager to convert between arrays and strings if you use the wrong cryptic rune.
