I understand why you'd use Node.js for I/O intensive tasks like web development and scraping, but for a cross-platform program meant to do everything? None of Node.js's benefits shine. Sure, Node.js has a big community with lots of (mostly linux-only) packages, but you get a mediocre language and pretty crap cross-platform support. This doesn't matter as a web development language, but seriously gets in the way when you're developing a program designed to do literally everything. A more useful project might be coreutils in rust, which several projects are already doing.
