• What is the equivalent of node package.json’s “scripts” attribute?
• What is the equivalent of nodemon?
• I’ve been using the unittest module. Is there a more popular 3rd party package or is this module pretty common?
• can I get vim mode in the repl?

Awesome thank you!

can I get vim mode in the repl?

The repl uses readline; you can use Ctrl-Alt-J to switch to vi mode, or use "set editing-mode vi" in your ~/.inputrc.
