IBM AIX 5 in the basic installation environment has "only" a ksh.

I would like to see python or perl to be THE scripting language of 
grass, because sh and even the bash have IMHO very limited capabilities 
to create sophisticated and maintainable code.
In case i learn python one day (i only know some basics), i will rewrite 
the grass test suite in python. The current bash based design is not 
very good maintainable ... .
