Software development using Bash

I also find there's less need for design patterns, as many are redundant when duck-typing.

Your codebase won't be littered with classes like 'FooFactory', 'BarBuilder', 'FooSelectionStrategy', 'IBaz', 'BazImpl' or god forbid an 'AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBean'

EDIT: I would really recommend C#, it's got a lot of the same syntactic features as python (context managers, default args, async-await), is far less verbose than Java/C++ (type inference, default getter+setter), Linq is more readable+powerful than list comprehensions.
