A couple years ago, around when Deno hit 1.0, I started using it for a LOT of my shell scripting scenarios... I can write TypeScript files with a shebang that pretty much just work, and can reference repository packages that load to a cache directory at runtime if missing.. no separate npm install step.

This has been extremely helpful... I'm as inclined to copy as fetch then paste and tweak in a TS file as I am to use curl or anything else... I've pretty much stopped using things like postman altogether.
