we have this SMS-based project that include parsing of messages, and the
parser was written in bash, it gets the job done with simple functionality
in mind. i know some Linux distro has their own packaging system that is
written in bash.. yes bash is not like perl at string operations, but still
we have our own preferences when it comes to "right tool".

yeah that's it.. anyway, i used bash and java.
