Unix shell isn't usable by normal public. It's just a stash of random symbols everywhere with unintuitive semantics. You'd loose your brain if you begin writing one. There are so many quirky considerations you've to take in mind to handle for all cases just gets even more complex then remembering C++ rules.
The substitution and shell-quoting are the things that piss me off. Why in 2021 would ever want all that legacy cruft? I better write a Python script that is far more readable and intuitive than figuring out all the symbol combinations in shell programming. We deserve better, don't we?
Shell programming is like necromancing, one simple mistake leads to big disasters. Also, these shells never point out the actual mistake, like are very unhelpful.
