> The minimal being a subset of POSIX.2 for the tools, Maybe I'm pushing too hard here, but even Posix isn't followed by all implementations of /bin/sh (no, I'm not sure, but there is no proof possible, as the future is also a factor). Thing is, Bash is well-defined, by a single implementation.
That's the original issue: why Bash over RC? Go is incidental, but a data point in a big statistical set. All Bashes are equal, all instances of /bin/sh aren't: it's not better, it's singular. ++L
