I still wish all of these would default to a synchronous mode of operation, maybe with something like an „unawait“ keyword for those cases where you really benefit from async behavior?
I still use `writeFileSync` and such out of habit, but I don't think I really need them since we got first-level await (out of async functions).
Just wonderful - between Dax, zx and bun-shell we have 3 different tools with near similar syntax pretty much doing the same thing. Until a winner emerges, its just best to stick to Python.
There was a time I was writing scripts using Node about once a week, and I settled on ShellJS. I don't remember loving the experience. Haven't had this need in at least a year though. From looking on npmtrends[0], ShellJS still seems the incumbent and quite alive. Are these new zx/dax/bun-shell tools, each inspired in the previous one, way better?

I haven't used bun shell at all.
Shells are first and foremost the core of the CLI for interactive use of the computer. Secondarily for scripting... but I don't see anything about using any of these shells as your standard computer interface. Am I missing something?

What is the difference between picking "wrong" and sticking with Python?
