> if you make your build scripts bash, they’re Linux only

Git bash exists on windows and is perfectly usable.

It's still much less dependable compared to something fully supported like Bun.

I’m no bash lover, but I’ve used git bash as my primary driver on windows for I don’t know many years. It has its quirks (like any tool) but I don’t think I’d say it’s less dependable. Anecdotally I’ve had way more issues with node on windows than I have with git bash and node is fully supported.

Fully supported, until they sell it to someone.

I mean, Anthropic now own it

Yes, bash is the near-universal language for build scripts as long as git is the near-universal source control tool.
