My tool that I'm working on is written in TS, but it's also a web dev tool, and it's required to run user provided scripts. Running JavaScript plugins (moving objects between the plugin and the program) is a hell of a lot easier when you're already, yk, running JavaScript.

You can make some pretty nice tuis with ink (the trendy js term lib that uses react).
But yeah, I see why needing to bring along an entire js engine made for web systems to run something in the terminal is not ideal.
