the solution is not write CLIs in JavaScript, unless you have a JS-library that you also want to make available as a CLI packaging Node in a binary won't solve

packaging Node in a binary won't solve the problem of JavaScript's plagued ecosystem and in fact i'd rather prefer to be able to mitigate the issues/update packages myself rather than waiting for a new binary to release
- jsd1982 4y agoI agree with your conclusion to not write cli tools in Javascript. However, packaging node in a binary is pretty much what electron does today, albeit with a GUI. Regardless, it's not a problem I wish to spend any effort to solve since it's not my problem and I've (we've) already dismissed the premise (writing CLI tools in js) lol.
