- stephenr 11y agoI honestly don't understand the purpose of re-inventing every existing shell tool using NodeJS. I'm certainly not against re-creating (as opposed to re-inventing) a better/more fit-for-purpose/whatever "wheel". But this is getting to be ridiculous - I'm convinced a large portion of them are created by people who somehow didn't manage to search for "<basic task> command line (linux|osx|whatever)". To add to the confusion, it can hardly even claim to be a better solution. This: 6 languages supported, who knows how many dependent NPM modules required, can't even handle basic stuff like checking if STDIN is a TTY or not. (seriously wtf "--pipe" ??) Pygments: 230+ languages supported, has literally 1 requirement on Debian (python).
