Been thinking about this even before the Mini Shai-Hulud mess - it’s weird that almost all AI tooling defaulted to Node/npm.
I’ve been a JS/TS dev for over a decade, so I completely get the temptation.
But with AI, the bar to building tools in other languages is way lower. There’s still a learning curve, but you effectively have a pair programmer sitting next to you.
That’s a big reason why I’ve been reaching for Go more lately (still too afraid of Rust). Or just bash/sh.
