What's the advantage of bash compare to Python

zeroyjj

We all know shell is small in its language size(compared with Perl). It can do the same with work with much less code compared with C/C++.

But now we have Python. I read abs-guide, i found that there are two many special charactor in bash such as $@, $#, [, [[ etc.. many of them aren't not easy to remember and people can't get
the meaning from it directly. But Python has many advantage compare with shell script, such as
it is much more clear, clean, easy to read....

Is there any Guru can tell me the advantage of these shell script over Python

没学过python
但我想既然是一门主要用来编程的语言，python的交互性或许会差一点，而shell这一点可不含糊
