I mean, NodeJS has been around for more than 10 years now? Of course you can write CLIs with JS.
- mikewarot 5y agoMy initial reaction: What does Node have to do with Javascript? It would be like some random library coming up every time I search for pascal. Googles node.js (instead of saying -node.js like I did yesterdays search about javascript and command line): Oh... it's not a library, what a stupid deceptive name for an interpreter.

And server/desktop support (with filesystem access, though the specific mechanism/API was different for different implementations) for JS is much older than Node; Rhino and WSH JScript support came about in the late 1990s.
