If running everywhere is actually a constraint (likely it’s not) and transpiling is a consideration, you could use Golang, that statically links and produces standalone binaries that run more or less anywhere. Though if you have a CD pipeline to transpile and deploy such, you likely have enough control over your environment already to have a less constrained choice to begin with. Normally I’m not very fond of Gos verbosity, especially compared to bash, but i take anything over bash, it is just so filled with footguns, every single line has to be super carefully scrutinized. Note that I say this as someone actually quite good at it, not because I don’t understand it. In fact the more you learn, the more scared you get.
