> Why is Javascript a « perfect choose » for shell scripts?

It isn't, that project looks like perl re-invented but worse, since it mixes Javascript via nodejs and shell script syntax.

Shell scripts already support loops, functions, conditions, variables, ... it makes more sense to write a nodejs script that works as a regular shell process and include it in a shell script than the other way around...
