title: Is there an advantage to using Bash over Perl or Python?
body: <p>Hey I've been using Linux for a while and thought it was time to finally dive into shell scripting.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is I've failed to find any significant advantage of using Bash over something like Perl or Python. Are there any performance or power differences between the two? I'd figure Python/Perl would be more well suited as far as power and efficiency goes.</p>
