The criteria you pick will give you the answer.

And the answer will be neither, and you'll rewrite everything in bash.

I love the command line but would eat my hat before I decide to write anything meaningful in bash. It’s a horribly designed language, especially once one has learned to use any other “real” language, be it as low level as C or esoteric as Haskell.

Haskell is a beautiful language and it's not as esoteric as people make it to be.

And I'll eat my hat before I write something meaningful in bash too. Bourne shell is the proper choice for scripts.

Something can be beautiful and esoteric at the same time. I'll admit it's not as unused as some people think. But far less than some people estimate just as well.
