This embodies so much of what is wrong with some JavaScript programmers' (that I've known personally) mindset that I find it hard to distinguish from satire...

- classified 5y agoYep, the quest continues to rewrite every software there ever was in JS.
- the_cat_kittles 5y agonothing wrong with wanting to avoid the insane syntax of bash imo.
- c0l0 5y agoBut you don't get to have that! You get the "insane" syntax oh bash, encapsulated in a ridiculously verbose and frankly quite unintuitive JavaScript contraption that seems to provide little, if any, benefit. Also, Shell scripting is mostly about correctly and safely interacting with other CLI-based tools - which this new thing wrapping a shell (and badly at that, see other comments in this thread) won't help you get right, either.
- kube-system 5y agoThere are some projects which I've migrated from bash to js, in the middle of the migration, we had a mix of both. This project would have been really helpful to make that migration quicker. Of course, it wasn't ideal, but there's always a journey before the destination.
- the_cat_kittles 5y agoi feel like you could avoid some of the kind of annoying syntax like array iteration and conditional syntax. would it be better to know that stuff 100%, and write it in pure bash? yeah. is it one of those todos that people like me never seem to get around to, and this is kind of a stop gap? maybe. it doesnt seem entirely useless
