Painless CLI integration testing
If we talk about the first approach, the following approaches will be useful: Nodejs Child Process: write to stdin from an already initialised process, RobotJS. It makes sense to note here that the approaches above are rather for e2e testing than integration.

What language next?
If you want to interact with the OS, and move the mouse, you'll likely want to write JS that targets the NodeJS platform. With a quick google search I found RobotJS which you can use with Node to automate the mouse (amongst other things). If it's a browser you want to automate, look into selenium-webdriver.

I recently released nut.js v3.0.0, a Node.js desktop automation framework, in line with a brand new OCR plugin and improved image search
Then there’s obviously https://github.com/robot/robot-js and https://github.com/octalmage/robotjs, but both of these frameworks are abandoned.

How are custom Iterables useful in JS? What are some common usecases of thing that can't be done easier any other way?
That said, you're in luck as I can give you a specific use case from the library I'm working on. It's a desktop automation library (something like RobotJS or Nut.js). I won't use the exact code, but a simplified version as an example.

Engaging and interesting decks are getting obscenely expensive
So what u need to do is go to a mercs bounty and afk inside it for 29 mins, then finish the fight by beating it and repeat. U will get more than 400 xp per hour with 20% boost (i think around 430? smth like that). If u go over 30 mins in the fight, u will get 0 xp so don't. Put the script on a loop and leave ur pc overnight, set hs fps to like 5 or smth from the config file (targetframerate), so ur pc uses little resources (the more gpu/cpu used the more wattage the higher the electricity bill, tho obviously it's still very worth it but the less the bill is the better). Level 100 to 400 is 300 * 1500 xp = 450 000 xp. With 10 hrs of ur pc working during the night, that is let's say 4100 xp per day, so it will take u 110 days to get from level 100 to 400. If u have work, leaving the pc on for let's say 16 hours a day (8 while u sleep and 8 while u work) will get u 7560 xp per day, getting u from 100 to level 400 in just 60 days (2 months). Make sure ur cpu gpu etc. are put on power-saving mode and turn off ur monitor (preferably even disconnect it from the power cable). Now for the script u wanna use, based on this https://thenewstack.io/which-programming-languages-use-the-least-electricity/ the best one would be C, personally i use Javascript because it's what i know and it's very easy to write and it's still 4.45 which is not that far from 1, considering it's just very simple mouse movement and a for loop and not some complex algorithm problems like in the article, it won't make much of a difference anyway, tho it might if u use python since 75.88 is a lot. So to do it with JS, u can use Node js with Robot js https://github.com/octalmage/robotjs

What's the alternative of Authotkey ?
Autohotkey is also a scripting language. If you want parity there, there's robotJS, pynput, and xdotool (though this one won't work on some future version of mint when a piece of tech it relies on gets upgraded).
- Need help with a simple macro program

I built some custom macro buttons using an Arduino Micro
I use the Johnny-Five JS library to connect to the board http://johnny-five.io/ and use RobotJS https://www.npmjs.com/package/robotjs to map the buttons on the board to keyboard buttons. Currently I just have it set up to map to audio buttons so I can prev/next/pause/play Spotify/Youtube or turn the OS volume up.

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

Bash. For me it is "read only". It is too arcane, even for me. I use Perl now.
