I think too that author managed to miss the point almost completely. Yes, bash is pretty dumb (at least out of most boxes). Yes, ksh has better math (still there are way more appropriate tools, and current pdksh would fail e.g. pi example).
But.
For interactive usage, get yourself zsh and practice tabbing through e.g. ls options. I won't write an article on that, just try yourself.
For advanced usage, I'll second Ruby recommendation.
For embedded usage, there's busybox. No ksh at bay.
PS: just in case, I happen to co-maintain pdksh package in ALT Linux since 2002.
