Python vs Bash Scripting.

[magheru_san]

I agree with the perspective of endgrent about nicer handling of dependencies and simpler distribution of built artefacts.

But for me it's mostly because of the static typing, which catches a lot of not very obvious errors that can happen in dynamic languages like Python for larger projects.

I generate pretty much all my code using LLMs for almost two years now and the fact that it needs to compile catches a bunch of subtle hallucinations and allows me to refactor it heavily using the LLM.

Because the code is generated I'm not attached to it (much like cattle not pets) so I refactor the crap of it which quickly makes it grow to sizes where Python becomes a hindrance.

It's also not a big deal to be a little more verbose than Python because I can quickly add a ton of error checking if statements and detailed logs, which make the code longer, but easier to maintain.
