I've actually already written a lot of the functionality I see here as bash (and other) functions, lol (things like log, filter, debug, retry, repeat, map, fetch (a URL, with retry)... etc.). (things like: enumeration functions, table pretty-printing, etc.)

> I've actually already written a lot of the functionality I see here as bash (and other) functions

Agreed, and good job with the tooling then!
