So you're boiling your eggs with a hammer?
For me it's not that complicated to write in German, English, Perl,
awk, Bourne sh, tcsh, ksh. ELisp and French are a bit more
complicated, I admit. A bit too complicated is definitely Bash with
its too many modes of operation. Before I start thinking in which
circumstances a Bash script might be used and how I could prevent
failure, I better switch to another language that is failsafe.
