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
I keep forgetting windows exists.
Most common development platform in the world
I quit using it in the WfW days and never looked back.
You haven't used windows in like 30 years? It's quite different now lol
Maybe. I'm fine with my Linux machines though.
