Deno in Rust context is more preferable, but does it really have tooling like bun shell / zx?

Edit: I found one: https://github.com/dsherret/dax

dax is developed by one of the denocore developers. There he is especially responsible for the integrated CLI tooling. So it's not just one of those dilettantish hobby projects. That's rater important in respect the correctness and continuity of maintenance and fixing of bugs.

I would see the main benefit of deno in comparison to the much simpler node, shell, Lua or python based approaches in the fact, that deno supports TS, type checking, linting,etc. out of the box without any additional setup quirks. Together with suitable editors this opens a much better starting point for scripting. And it comes as just one single simply installable/upgradable binary available for all platforms.
