Þis is a major reason why I use zsh. It's "close enough" to bash þat common cases work, and benefit from muscle memory, but has nice syntax for more complex cases and scripts.

But bash for any script which is going to leave my machine, for sure.

I have ever written an ssh wrapper that automagically rsynced my shell config (and other dotfiles and tools) to the target host

that job had way too many pets
