Cash: a cross-platform implementation of Unix shell commands in JavaScript

This is neat!

For Javascript we have the engine as V8 VM already, is it possible we can use javascript the way as python/bash(i.e. #!/bin/js) someday? that means ignoring the DOM/web related portion and make javascript a true client/server side script language, then it's really close to 'one language rules all'.

This works:

  #!/usr/bin/node

  console.log("hello");

mark it executable and enjoy.

Unless that's not really what you were getting at with your comment. If I misunderstood, sorry!

As the other poster notes, that's exactly what node is.
