Shell scripts suck to write and bash/zsh is a terrible language to have to deal with

And so does Python. But Python is unnecessary for this task. So, having to choose between two evils, I'd choose the necessary one.

Idk what python you're talking about with docker compose

For real. Maybe he should try docker compose v2

Why? What do I stand to gain from using this? Marginal speed improvement in some cases and a lot of headache trying to debug it in other cases?

docker-compose offers an alternative. It doesn't offer any genuinely new functionality. It may work for you if you don't know how to use the other alternative, or the other alternative is inconvenient for you for some other reason, but if it's not, it's just an extra tool that you don't need.

This one: https://pypi.org/project/docker-compose/

That's v1, which is EOL. Docker compose v2, written in Go, was released in 2020.

Well, that's even worse in some sense... now I cannot properly debug it when it breaks...

I still see no reason to use it.
