Shh: Simple Shell Scripting from Haskell
shh is a really cool package, and so is turtle and shelly:
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/turtle/docs/Turtle-Tutor...
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/shelly
shh's "Alternatives" section summarises nicely some of the differences between these:
https://github.com/luke-clifton/shh#alternatives
shh has a neat [fmt| ... |] macro that gets you around escaping strings.
shh generally has more Template Haskell support; you may or may not like this.
I am personally leaning towards shh because of its "native pipe style".

What are the disadvantages of using an interactive shell based on a regular programming language (python, scheme's scsh, etc) vs. bourne shell and bash?
There exist hybrids, where general purpose languages are somehow coerced into shells by adding syntactic sugar or removing features. Xonsh and shh come to mind, respectively for Python and Haskell.

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.

- 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.

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.

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
