Well, I did use node.js a couple of times for stuff that would normally be a shell script. Like simple scripts spawning some processes and killing them on certain events. But I don't think I'd use a JavaScript shell. sh seems more writable for shell usecases. But if there was a powerful js shell comparable to zsh I might! Something like emacs shell where you can use a kind-of-bash syntax and elisp at the same time would be cool.
