Can I use Node for general scripting? (Like python)

1. zx

   1 124 44,548 9.6 JavaScript

   A tool for writing better scripts

   

   Yes. I can recommend zx from Google. It adds some handy features to node to make it more useful for everyday scripting

3. deno

   2 493 104,043 9.9 Rust

   A modern runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript.

   

   I use deno and it's much much better IMO. Secure runtime, first class TS support, etc.

4. oclif

   yes, you can even compile your js if you want a single executable, with things like nexe
