Oh cool!
I personnally search a good opponent to bash to script easily but allows you to do more complex things
And piping like we do in bash
I don't want to touch to python, Perl is meh (never tried tho). Elixir come in my mind but it's a bit difficult to interact easily with stdin/CLI

I wanted to try Perl but it's syntax frighten me (I was a newcomer to Unix world). I should give it a new chance
Totally agree about Erlang/Elixir but even if it's interpreted, it's bytecode it's probably more optimized than other interpreted languages
When you come to that point it's clearly no longer scripting (unless…?) but OTP releases give you a lot of advantages

You teased my curiosity about Perl
About bytecode, it is not the only pro. Don't worry I know about Actor Model (and not process), I'm currently doing projects in Elixir
I was more talking about… nah it wasn't a good thing to talk about bytecode
With less raw power, Actor Model and fault tolerency Erlang is clearly better than opponents and easier to manipulate when you come to concurrency
About scripting, even if Erlang is heavy, it's fault tolerency may be interesting to properly manage your tasks
(If your script is a dumb one shot mv/rename, a shell function is better)
