For achieving the widest adoption among Windows users, which commonly used scripting language would be best suited for a CLI program?%
Although I'm happy there is a way to bundle Node.js apps with support for pnpm, and for a modern-ish version of Node.js, it's somewhat slow in my experience to build locally. Interactivity doesn't have the greatest ecosystem there, especially with TypeScript. Best library I've found is Enquirer.

Using generators to improve developer productivity
In case you need to ask for user input, optionally you can use a prompt file. This is very useful to customize the output of the generator. Prompts are defined using a library named Enquirer.

NPM Vulnerability Discussion on Twitter
> I don't fully understand why packages like this are so popular.
It actually works like this: Author X develops `iseven`, `isodd`, etc. No one really downloads such packages. Author X then develops `importantPackage` which does do something useful developers out here download. Now `iseven`, `isodd` are downloaded alongside `importantPackage`.
My point is, we should recognize certain NPM authors as toxic, but I guess "freedom of speech/code" stops us from doing so. Example of such an author: https://github.com/jonschlinkert/

NPM – is-even, 160k weekly downloads
https://github.com/jonschlinkert
Interesting, 845 repositories by the user, and the vast majority of them are simple NPM modules such as this one.
Has there been any recent instances of someone abusing simple NPM repos like this for malicious intent?
> From the github user's ("i-voted-for-trump") bio:
> EDIT - read some of the comments and there is some anger and confusion. Folks, this is a troll. Yes, npm and the JS ecosystem have some flaws, but let's not get bent out of shape.
It doesn't look like so. The author is definitely creating some confusion, but the readme of his professional Github's account (https://github.com/jonschlinkert) says:
> Several years ago I switched careers from sales, marketing and consulting to learn how to program, with the goal of making the world a better place through code. [...] To date, I've created more than 1,000 open source projects in an effort to reach my goal. Open source software takes a lot of time to create and maintain. You can help me to achieve my goals of changing the world through code, help me create better developer experiences, or just say thank you by sponsoring me on GitHub.
He's asking for real money; he's definitely not a troll.
He probably moved that repo away from his profile (https://github.com/jonschlinkert) to avoid being trolled
It's insanely funny to me that these packages exist while one of his bigger projects (https://github.com/enquirer/enquirer) lists the following reason under "why use it":

Modern PHP
With NPM, what's actually published is not what's in the git repo, so it's harder to inspect/review vulnerabilities or hijacking. With composer, what's in git _is_ what composer pulls (with the exception of rules in .gitattributes to exclude files etc), making it much easier to trace. One such example: https://github.com/faisalman/ua-parser-js/issues/536
Composer packages are vendor namespaced, so hijacking an abandoned package is not possible (and it is with NPM), some examples like https://www.theregister.com/2021/08/10/github_npm_package/

Secure software supply chain: why every link matters
On Oct. 22, 2021, developers of a very common NPM package, ua-parser-js, discovered that some attackers uploaded a compromised version of the package containing malware for Linux and Windows, and were capable of stealing data (at least passwords and cookies from the browser).

Thoughts on improving security of Neovim plugins
Since Neovim 0.5 release (which has full Lua support) I see more and more amazing Lua plugins being developed, and I think this trend will likely to continue. But I recently got more concerned about security risks associated with the way Neovim plugins being installed and used (especially after seeing recent compromises like ua-parser-js or coa). Installing typical Neovim plugin is basically downloading and executing random code from the internet on your machine with your user privileges, so hijacked or deliberately malicious plugin could potentially do a lot of damage (like stealing keys/passwords, installing keylogger or just rm -rf / for fun).
