Bash is awesome.
This is one of my favorite bash scripts, it's an IRC bot in about 12 lines:

It's also pretty easy to add other commands & extend.

I recently had lunch with a friend and I asked him about if he was planning new features their key/value store and I loved his answer: (paraphrased)
I'm a unix-guy. I want small bits of software that does one thing and does it really well.
His point was that software these days is rarely "finished". However in Unix so much of the software are small pieces. Each piece does one job and does it well. Then you can fit those pieces together in all sorts of configurations to do new and interesting things.
