I use shell for simple things like "do this for all the files in here". shellscripts for repeated stuff and wgeb it gets complicated i turn to programming languages like python

So, is the standard set of Bash syntax completely enough for you?

The bash syntax is irrelevant to the tools available. It's useless without tools to run.

After a certain amount of complexity you need lists of objects/structs/...(how you want to call it) and it is painful and/or dangerous.
