Any time I see a nodejs tool aimed at systems tasks (general infrastructure, IaC, etc) I immediately disregard it. While, to be honest, I'm not sure that's a fair way to look at tools like this, it's the reality.

I always wonder at the authors motivation to use node when the majority of the ecosystem is written in golang. This is actually one of the main reasons I dont use terraform CDK right now. Why is CDK node first (I know there is golang support) when terraform is all golang?

I agree that it's weird to write any command-line tool in Node. Very few developers have `npm` installed.
