On your own stack and dev environment, why would you care about compatibility of shell scripts? Do you change your stack much?
- joshuacc 13y agoFor open-source JavaScript projects, using Grunt or another Node-based tool makes it easier for Windows users to contribute. Node has excellent Windows support, while shell scripts are mostly the domain of *nix.
- lowboy 13y agoYeah. In the past three years I've gone from Windows, to a CentOS VM, to an Ubuntu VM, now on OS X. Node has worked on all of those platforms. I can't say the same for my .BAT files.
