I long ago gave up bash scripting for other than simple scripts, even for
sysadmin chores.

Most Linux distros, including our favorite Debian, come with Perl installed
in the standard distro, and it’s a quick upgrade to add Raku as well (
https://Raku.org).

Both languages are great “glue” languages and are C-like as opposed to
Python. Raku, in particular, has a much easier syntax than bash. And the
payoff is learning a much more powerful language with a huge
problem-solving domain

Best regards,
