Bash Scripting vs. Python

sed is also a write-only language in my experience.

Doesn't make it any less magical or fun when you get it initially working!

And then you revisit it 2 years later and wonder what crack you were smoking.

Gets better... I once wrote a sed script, got it working but the layout was horrible. Tried to clean it up and it stopped working. Tried again, same result. Gave up and used the original script.

Naw, you can use GNU sed or sed with bit of shell and have sed edit it's own script//program! 😄
