I feel the best way to handle this is for $ to require all non-bultin calls to be explicit and try to replicate utilities as builtins as much as possible > Also, it's probably obvious but you likely would not want to surprise-replace a Bourne-compatible shell like ZShell with this in most contexts. This only makes sense in the JS ecosystem The sheer size of the JS runtime is enough argument to not use it in a non-JS project. Not a jab at JS or Bun, python/ruby/etc can't compete with shell script runtime size either
