Show HN: Pypipe – A Python command-line tool for pipeline processing
Cool!
I was going to ask how this differs in broad strokes from pz, but when I went to get the reference link found that pz hasn't been updated in two years, so that's one big difference.

- Python import statements make it inconvenient for inline use in shell scripts
- Program mentioned on here - can anyone remember it?

Show HN: Prig – like Awk, but uses Go for “scripting”
TIL about pz (kind of like this but using Python) -- that's very cool! https://github.com/CZ-NIC/pz

Easily handle CLI operation via Python instead of regular Bash programs
This seems very useful!
The behaviour of auto-imports https://github.com/CZ-NIC/pz#auto-import seems bit scary:
> Caveat: When accessed first time, the auto-import makes the row reprocessed. It may influence your global variables. Use verbose output to see if something has been auto-imported.
It sounds like this could cause some very subtle bugs. Maybe a strong and clear warning when a line is being reprocessed would help.

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.
- Zx 8.0
- Google ZX – A tool for writing better scripts
-
Dax – 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
