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]

My script to install husky, commitlint and lint-staged with zx
If you want test it, you can run this script withzx :

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.
lol no javascript

It also gives you access to Babashka if you want Clojure for other use-cases where start-up time is an issue

What's the value proposition of meta circular interpreters?
I've tried researching this myself and can't find too much. There's this project metaes which is an mci for JS, and there's the SCI module of the Clojure babashka project, but that's about it. I also saw Triska's video on mci but it was pretty theoretical.

Adding Dependencies on Clojure Project the Node Way: A Small Intro to neil CLI
Created by the same guy who created babashka which is a way to write bash scripts, node scripts, and even apple scripts using Clojure. A very proficient and influential developer in the Clojure community. This is how borkduke's neil helps us:

Critique of Lazy Sequences in Clojure
Clojure's lazy sequences by default are wonderful ergonomically, but it provides many ways to use strict evaluation if you want to. They aren't really a hassle either. I've been doing Clojure for the last few years and have a few grievances, but overall it's the most coherent, well thought out language I've used and I can't recommend it enough.
There is the issue of startup time with the JVM, but you can also do AOT compilation now so that really isn't a problem. Here are some other cool projects to look at if you're interested:

Being a Clojure addict, I guess I have to leave the obligatory link to Babashka too then: https://github.com/babashka/babashka (Native, fast starting Clojure interpreter for scripting)

Are there any languages (that are in common use in companies) and higher-level that give you the same feeling of simplicity and standardization as C?
I've enjoyed babashka for scripting; which is close enough to clojure to allow using some/many libraries; but (probably) not for embedding.
What are some alternatives?
shelljs - :shell: Portable Unix shell commands for Node.js
janet - A dynamic language and bytecode vm
execa - Process execution for humans
malli - High-performance data-driven data specification library for Clojure/Script.
Commander.js - node.js command-line interfaces made easy
joker - Small Clojure interpreter, linter and formatter.
TypeScript - TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that compiles to clean JavaScript output.
nbb - Scripting in Clojure on Node.js using SCI
oclif - CLI for generating, building, and releasing oclif CLIs. Built by Salesforce.
clojure-lsp - Clojure & ClojureScript Language Server (LSP) implementation
deno - A modern runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript.
racket - The Racket repository
