I'm switching to Python and actually liking it
Do people really turn to JS (instead of Python) for lightweight scripting? Are we talking about the "better Bash" use case?

I use "tsx script.ts" often and it's very nice good due to gradual typing you can use (plus I know lang well)

I mean if its really light weight, and I want to avoid bash, then JS is not too bad. The downside being that the built-ins are not really there compared to Python.
The famous answer.... _it depends_.
