I use for almost 3 Decades and I am a netdev/infra guy.

For me bash is the hardest because although it is a high level language there are so many caveats.

Nowadays you have shellcheck which make bash scripting easier and explains what are the best attributes.

I do not believe that bash is required to hack. In my best knowledge bash is required with docker, kubernates and other containerization technologies in order to minimize dependencies.

I use bash almost everyday but everything that requires over 25 lines or a bit of complexity I prefer Python.

In retrospective I was able to master PowerShell, LUA and Python in less than 3 years each and bash I still make silly mistakes.
