However, one thing I've found is that Bash is actually not that much slower than other compiled languages when comparing similar functionality. I have a sneaking suspicion that were I to attempt to write some of the more complicated things I have in bash in python, the speed difference would not make the monstrous work involved ever worth it. However, Bash alone I found too limited, but Bash + gawk works well, gawk is almost real.
