Is Node.JS just as useful in a GNU/Linux environment like Python is?

I've used PHP for some quick scripts.

It just has such a big library of functions that (sometimes) do what you want.

>>57252735
Couldn't you choose something shittier for your scripts? Jesus fuck these webdevs.

>>57252735
there is no shame in writing little cli tools in node. I do it all the time.

They are more portable than python and bash ones.

I used C to write a bash script.

>>57254323
so you wrote a C program that would write your bash script?

>>57254479
Yes

>>57252735
