As someone who writes bash scripts, fuck no, this is a terrible language and it shouldn't be used for anything more complex than sticking two programs together.

Also, parallelism goes right out of the window.

Maybe you'd convince me with a real programming language.

That just made me imagine a Rust rewrite of systemd

There is (was?) a group writing a whole Linux-esque OS in Rust: https://github.com/nuta/kerla

Any time I see a grognard seriously suggest going back to bash for anything exceeding 10 lines of code it makes me very happy none of them are in control.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
