That's a really really bad assumption.
Bash and even Bourne shell scripts can be very durable and very
sophisticated, because sophistication is really outside of the language
choice. And you could argue that it could require more sophistication
to solve problems using scripting languages that might be "hindered" by
their (perceived) "unsophistication" as a language.
Just saying...
Sincerely (writer of sophisticated Bourne shell scripts),
Christopher
