I always disliked these comparisons to "shell" scripting that invariably end up comparing a collection of C (or whatever) tools and claiming to have solved the problem in steel script.

It's nonsense - the various shell scripting languages are more than capable of implementing those various tasks without simply shelling out to C, and so should be required to. Otherwise a C programmer has access to system() and start() and those support pipes even.
