- tempest_ 1y agoJS devs do, and there are a lot of them
- ajkjk 1y agothat would be very surprising
- roflchoppa 1y agoI mean if its really light weight, and I want to avoid bash, then JS is not too bad. The downside being that the built-ins are not really there compared to Python. The famous answer.... _it depends_.
- machiaweliczny 1y agoI use "tsx script.ts" often and it's very nice good due to gradual typing you can use (plus I know lang well)
