Yeah. This is a great article. While I was reading it, I was thinking about what I would have done, and my answer was Python. Bash is just too easy to do wrong (see the recent Steam rm -rf bug), and I don't code in it often enough to know the pitfalls by heart.
I'd be interested to see another article about doing this job in Python and how its performance compares to this simple one-liner.
