> Also we're talking about small standalone 'shell scripts', not 'real projects'. Think 'bla.sh', just with a .ts extension. Deno is really great for such small helper scripts.
Okay. Now I'm confused and my head hurts. You want to randomly download dependencies for a "shell script" at the time of invocation?
I think I need to lie down.
Please explain what exactly is the problem with installing dependencies on demand compared to an 'npm install -g bla', 'brew install bla' or 'apt install bla'? It requires exactly the same amount of trust and is the the same thing under the hood, just that it happens automatically on first invocation of a script.
