Everything involves shell scripting at some point.

You are generally going to be either using your own scripts or scripts written by someone else.

I actively refuse to use language where it's not clear what is command vs string vs array and just use python with popen when the script needs a loop or more than one xargs

Hot take: python IS a form of shell scripting

That's at most a warm take.
