google/zx: write shell scripts in JavaScript
people writing CLI apps who have to depend on a Node package (I would have been happy for something like zx when writing genealogit, a tool for visualizing family trees with Git graphs which I wrote in Node because I needed GEDCOM parser and the only one I found that met my needs in a language I know was in Node. Last I looked it wasn't working, and the oclif factor discouraged me from debugging)

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.

Dax โ Cross-platform shell for Node.js
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.

Scripting with Go: A Modest Proposal
I ended up using this for my cli scripting needs. https://github.com/google/zx
- And forget about shell scripting in /bin/sh ... I hate to say it, but, this is the middle of 2021 we have react and svelte we need more /etc/shells, we need modern languages all over, we can't do this anymore
