I always thought nodejs was a weird choice for CLI tools.

For web stuff, sure.

But for CLI, it never made sense to me. Especially when Python and Go exist.

But why? Not saying node is better, just want to know where you are coming from for my own knowledge.

Bc I would have picked typescript + node too. It has types (where python just has type hints) and a lot of developers know it already (where go is more niche).
