A C-program, backed by ncurses.

No seriously, I would vote for Python. I agree totally with svyatogor's
opinion, but I think Python gives us more flexibility if we ever want to
extend the program.

If bash-scripts are chosen though, please make them sh-scripts. Perhaps in
the future we want to make bash non-mandatory (csh, ksh, bsh, zsh, ...) and
having as little bash-only scripts as possible is a Good Thing.
