Should I stick with bash for advanced Linux automation scripts, or switch to Python? -

i have basic knowledge of bash shell programming , can simple jobs backups etc.

now thinking of tackling more advanced tasks, , must decide whether should stick bash , study more advanced topics, or learn python.

since have spend time studying either way, i'd spend on language that'll give me advantages.

python vs bash - in kind of tasks each 1 outruns other performance-wise ?

bash pretty powerful when know well, but has lot of pitfalls, , pretty hard right. bash extremely suited task @ hand. in particular lets parallelize simple things easily.

python on other hand saner language, it's not designed task, feel bit more verbose @ first. once develop small library of functions designed needs should great, though.
