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

• zx

  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

• deno

  448 92,841 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.
