Modern Linux Tools vs. Unix Classics: Which Would I Choose?
> I too can never remember jq syntax when I need to. I usually just end up writing a Python script
Same here! That's why for small things I made pyxargs [1] to use python in the shell. In another thread I also just learned of pyp [2] which I haven't tried yet but looks like it'd be even better for this use case.

Alternative Shells
I personally use fish, but mostly for the out of the box auto completions and highlighting, I don't use it for actual scripting, nor have it set as the login shell due to the 2nd reason you mentioned.
I mostly use python as well, and for some short commands I made pyxargs [1] which lets you run python code on stdin, or a walk of your current directory.

Ask HN: Share a shell script you like
pyxargs --py "print('{}') if os.path.ismount('{}') else ''" | pyxargs fusermount -u {}
My primary use case was using this with ffmpeg due to the encoding problem with xargs [2].
It can also run commands in parallel using a terminal multiplexer so outputs don't get mixed up or if they require user input.

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.

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

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.

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
