Why BASH?

[girls-whocode]

I have been ridiculed over the fact that I am building this is BASH script. Many comments are, Python can do this so much better, easier, and faster. C can do this the same way as Python.

The answer is Yes, I am aware of these languages that could do things with much less code, faster, and make it more reliable. The answer I have is many of the systems I work on, are either Air Gapped, where I cannot download Python, or C libraries, or there are systems that admins do not have permission to install applications that are not viewable by GIS (Global Information Security) Department.

BASH is pretty much compatible on nearly every Linux environment, and I try to build a majority of this to not require any additional dependencies. I can simply run this openly on any Linux box that I need to run it on.

Plus, it allows me to harness my BASH scripting skills into my own personal WOW I did that mentality.

The bottom line is, I am not trying to sell, promote, or distribute this application to the masses, this is something I am doing for my own personal benefit for work.

With all of that said, if someone does want to try to sell it, please consult with me first, we can come to an agreement on licenses.
