It looks like people don’t get it.

This isn’t “better” than your tool of choice. This is a tool for JavaScript developers to write non-trivial scripts in a portable way without getting lost in POSIX hell. Who came up with this stuff?

If you can write shell code, Perl, Python, COBOL, suit yourself. This is for JavaScript developers in JavaScript projects.

Here's an example: https://gitlab.com/vincenttunru/penny/-/blob/main/scripts/bu...

That used to be a shell script. But this I can way more easily read (even after not touching it for a long time), I get autocompletion, and I can use the APIs I'm already familiar with. It's a pretty neat QoL improvement for me specifically.

Wouldn't the `await fs.move` run sync? Why not just return the Promise from fs.move() so that Promise.all() can run the multiple moves async?

  await Promise.all(
    unneededPages.map(async (page) => {
      await fs.move(page, `scripts/.cache/${page}`, { overwrite: true });
    })
  );

Similar to what you do on line 26.

What’s with all the await-stuff? Couldn’t it be written just straight forward?

Maybe it should say that somewhere.

They're probably on the spectrum.
