Project mention: Advanced Shell Scripting with Bash (2006) [pdf] | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-17
(Not sure about the equivalent of shlex.quote, but in the worst case, you can just use "from shlex import quote as q" or something).
So yes, there are good alternatives to bash - even Python based.

Project mention: Floss/fund: $1M per year for free and open source projects | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-10-16
I've maintained a fairly popular open source project for over 13 years[1]. The software is basically "complete." How does funding work for someone like me? I have no initiatives with it that require funding. Occasionally, I need to fix a bizarre obscure bug, or support a new python version/feature (async/await being the last big one). But otherwise, I just field questions a few times a month.
Truth be told, I'd rather be done with the project completely. It's like a little monkey on my back that I can never be rid of, that I must always tend to. But at the same time, since I can never realistically receive funding for it, the only value I get is the fact that my name is on it. I wish a big, legit company would just buy it off of me somehow, but there's no incentive for them either. I don't know how this ends.

Colmena is a tool to manage multiple NixOS systems. It is similar to NixOps but fancier in spirit. I am not sure about the size of its userbase, but I do not see many other alternatives to my liking except NixOps4 and deploy-rs. So far, I am happy with it, so is my team.
