title: Is there any use for Bash scripting anymore?
body: <p>I just finished my second year as a university CS student, so my "real-world" knowledge is lacking.  I learned Java my first year, continued with Java and picked up C and simple Bash 
  scripting my second.  This summer I'm trying to learn Perl (God help me).  I've dabbled with Python a bit in the past.</p>
  
  <p>My question is, now that we have very readable, very writable scripting languages like Python, Ruby, Perl, etc, why does anyone write Bash scripts?  Is there something I'm missing?  I know my linux box has perl and python.  Are they not ubiquitous enough?  Is there really something
  that's easier to do in Bash than in some other hll?</p>
