-# Alternative Haskell implementation note:
-# This script could be rewritten in Haskell using libraries like:
-# - process: For executing external commands
-# - turtle: A shell scripting library
-# - optparse-applicative: For command line option parsing
-# - filepath/directory: For file path manipulation
-# - bytestring/text: For text processing

-# Benefits would include:
-# - Type safety
-# - Better error handling
-# - Integration with the rest of the Haskell codebase
-# - Potential for more modular design
