Understanding package.json II: Scripts
Avoid platform-specific commands: Avoid using platform-specific commands in your scripts. Use cross-platform tools like Node.js or Bash to ensure that your scripts work on different platforms. For instance, if you want your npm script to remove a certain directory using the rm -rf command, this would work perfectly on a Linux or Mac machine but would error out on Windows. To avoid this, you can use a cross-platform package such as [rimraf](https://www.npmjs.com/package/rimraf).

Why I Prefer Makefiles Over package.json Scripts for Node.js Projects
It's somewhat unfortunate because there is wasted effort in the node.js world to provide javascript (or C++ native module) equivalents to unix commands, like the rimraf package. It's a bit silly at this point that npm doesn't just say in the spec that it only supports POSIX systems β all of these tools are easily accessible from Windows and there's not much reason anymore not to do dev from WSL.

ESM not gaining traction in back-end Node?
One of the libraries I used most that went full-ESM is Chalk. They released v5 over a year-and-a-half ago (November 2021) with ESM-only support and haven't updated v4 - their last iteration that supported CommonJS - since. If you go into their GitHub Issues section, you'll see a number of issues raised about CommonJS support, most of which are just responded to with a link to a post they made about switching over. Fair enough. I guess if I had to constantly answer the same question over and over, I might do the same.
