> The minimal being a subset of POSIX.2 for the tools,

Maybe I'm pushing too hard here, but even Posix isn't followed by all
implementations of /bin/sh (no, I'm not sure, but there is no proof
possible, as the future is also a factor).  Thing is, Bash is
well-defined, by a single implementation.

That's the original issue: why Bash over RC? Go is incidental, but a
data point in a big statistical set.  All Bashes are equal, all
instances of /bin/sh aren't: it's not better, it's singular.
