    For a bit of glue, a shell script is fine. A start script, some small utility gadget…

    With python, you’re not even sure that the right version is installed unless you ship it with the script.

      I try to write things to be cross-platform; with node builds, I avoid anything using shell scripting so that we can support Windows builds as well. As such, I usually write the deployment scripts in Node itself, but sometimes python if it’s supported by our particular CI/CD pipeline

                Maybe. I’m fine with my Linux machines though.
