None of these other languages has the same quoting complexity. You can
find some FAQs saying: "Never setuid a shell script, use something
less dangerous instead like Perl for instance".

I imagine it is too difficult to appreciate this complexity and
objectively compare it to other languages when you are an expert in
it.
