Neat. Also if you've got java installed, there's

  jrunscript
  jjs
Both invoke the nashorn javascript engine.

That has been dropped in Java 10 and Java 17 is getting released next month, thus only works in what I consider legacy runtimes.

Well, then it is still on many production systems that still run on Java 8.

Not quite. While Java 10 is end-of-life because it isn't an LTS version, Java 8 still is actively supported.

Kind of, depends how much one is willing to pay for support.

Shops that care about LTS should be on 11 instead of clinging their teeth on 8.
