yes! I just don't understand that as well. Up until some time ago claud code's preferred install was a npm i, wasn't it? Please serious answers for why anyone would use a web language for a terminal app

Because it's what the person writing it's preferred language.

So it can share code with the web app.

Because writing it in javascript is easier than writing it in raw brute forced assembly.
