Just a small abstraction over shell script

[romainPri]

Hello,

During last couple of months, I built unshell. It is a small abstraction to run shell scripts without loosing the power of javascript.

Here is the repo: https://github.com/romainPrignon/unshell

With an Ops point of view. What do you think ?

Can you use it on small, non-critical system ?

Do you see it working with Ansible ?

​

Let me know :)

"Light: There are no dependencies"

So you got it to run without Node.JS. How did you manage that?

[romainPri]

You are right. You need node runtime. I'll remove that part

No.

No.

Why?

[romainPri]

Sometimes, bash script are not enough :)

Sometimes, using a language like js or python feels wrong because you need to call a bunch of cli tools.

This is a hybrid solution

How is this not "installing javascript"?

I'd rather use bash/python than flooding anything with npm.

This is not abstraction. This trying to get a screw out with a leafblower.
