doom.d VS zx

I wrote essentially the same thing for [Python](https://github.com/NightMachinary/brish). I have been using it extensively for months, and I’m very happy with it.

I have also used a REST API based on the Python version to implement the same thing easily in other languages, including a nifty [elisp macro](https://github.com/NightMachinary/doom.d/blob/master/night-b...) that lets you do:

(z du -h (split-string (z ls -a) "\n" t))

PS: It does proper quoting, using zsh’s builtin quoting system.

Great point! According to https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/blob/b433beb016470b87850f3c01..., Bun Shell took inspiration from zx[0], dax[1] and bnx[2]

If you want test it, you can run this script withzx :

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.

I ended up using this for my cli scripting needs. https://github.com/google/zx

It looks like you want just a script. Check if https://github.com/google/zx is sufficient for your needs.

Also javascript as an alternative for bash..

Not an official Google product of course but ...

>Bash is great, but when it comes to writing more complex scripts, many people prefer a more convenient programming language. JavaScript is a perfect choice, but the Node.js standard library requires additional hassle before using. The zx package provides useful wrappers around child_process, escapes arguments and gives sensible defaults.

I’m partial to zx and powershell for scripting. It seems like lua is along the lines of ZX so definitely usable

Also I would notice that I often use bash scripts but in many cases prefer zx - very handy tool where bash and nodejs complement each other perfectly.
