To summarize my feelings: Shit!

Deno's ability to import directly from a package registry or even git repo in a standalone TS script without requiring a package.json or similar 'meta-data' file was actually really nice for shell scripting stuff. AFAIK node.js still can't do anything similar?

`zx --install` will give you this. It's quite handy and enjoyable generally for shell scripting in ts/js. https://google.github.io/zx/cli#install

if you're not locked to javascript you could use python with pep-723[1] to declare inline dependencies
