I'm sorry, what are the same problems you're referring to? I ended up leaving because:

- it was unstable and kept changing (less of an issue now)

- I still need to know bash due to its ubiquity

- it was worse than python for data crunching scripts (ide tooling + my familiarity)

This was several years ago so I'm curious about a more recent perspective

There is some unstability yes.

For me the larger problems were the lack of types which in practice meant that I was running into the same problems as with bash.

Support for custom types is not there.

Oh you mean algebraic types (Elm terminology)? Or the newtype pattern? Or something else?
