I am a bash expert.

This paper reads like it was written by clueless academics with no real world experience.

Multicore bash already exists and is seldom used, through the "parallel" cmd.

Other points address no particular issue, and would actually make the language more painful to use.

Bash has its limits, which pushes you to use a full fledged language if you attempt to walk past them. It's a good system.
