Bun 1.1
> Also with Deno, it become very easy to write typed cli. .ts file can be run as script very easily with permission access defined on top of the script such as:
I do this all the time. I used to use npx in my hashbang line to run TS scripts with node, but I've started using Deno more because of the permissions. Another great package for shell scripting with Deno is Dax, which is like the Deno version of Bun shell: https://github.com/dsherret/dax
> Also project such as https://cliffy.io has made writing cli way more enjoyable than node.
This looks cool. I've always used the npm package inquirer (which also works with Deno), but I'll have to compare cliffy to that and see how it stacks up.
> Hono (projects conform to modern web standard, and is runtime agnostic for JS)
Hono is awesome. It's fast, very well typed, runs on all JS runtimes, and has zero dependencies.

How and why do we bundle zx?
When zx first appeared, it was a tiny esm script that just proposed a new idea for how child_process.spawn API could be enhanced with string template literals.

TIL about zx! https://github.com/google/zx
This suite of tools feels indispensable. Anything to keep me from having to write/maintain bash scripts that are more than a series of commands.

YavaScript: Write shell scripts in JavaScript/TS instead of bash
I really love writing with zx. https://github.com/google/zx
We have some folks who have gone wild copy-pasting random fancy bash snippets into various developer helpers scripts. Zx did like 90% of that stuff out of the box, without being a pile of chaotic custom bash.
