   80

There are 80 shell scripts in the NodeJS tarball. Not to mention all the references to the shell in the documentation.

   ftp -4o'|tar tzf -|grep \.js$' https://zircon-guest.googlesource.com/third_party/dash/+archive/refs/heads/master.tar.gz

There are no Javascripts in the Dash tarball.

NodeJS needs the shell, but the shell does not need NodeJS.

"The shell is not a language."

Whatever it "is" (cf. what it _does_), it's essential.
