And the most popular girl in my high school can't ride a motorcyle. I took her to prom but I'm not inviting her on my next cross-country ride. What's your point?

Regardless you don't pick a toolset based on popularity. You choose it based on capability. 100,000 front-end HTML developers asking the same "how do I regex?" question on StackOverflow 10,000 times doesn't pre-qualify an ecosystem as the perfect tool for shell automation.

And at this point you're just trying to save face after you jumped in to explain why it's such a great idea that this project uses Javascript. It doesn't. I'm moving on and suggest you do the same.

My point is that while you keep saying something is wrong, the evidence shows otherwise.

I'm pretty sure you're already aware of that. Your account is new, perhaps you've been here before but you don't seem very capable of participating in technical discussions. I'm going to end this conversion for obvious reasons.
