Haskell! Seriously, people do shell scripting in Haskell. There's actually a pretty nice library designed for it called Shelly:

Shelly is great! Still, there is some minimum complexity before something is better done in it, and porting a small bash script that has grown from a tiny bash script is pretty trivial.
