I just find working with Node to be gross.

Look at this:

https://github.com/Shopify/cli/blob/main/package.json

but wait...this too:

https://github.com/Shopify/cli/blob/main/packages/app/packag...

https://github.com/Shopify/cli/blob/main/packages/cli-hydrog...

https://github.com/Shopify/cli/blob/main/packages/cli/packag...

https://github.com/Shopify/cli/blob/main/packages/create-app...

etc, etc, etc

VS

https://github.com/Shopify/shopify-cli/blob/main/Gemfile

What am i missing? Why do you have to rely on all that junk to run a CLI? It feels like people choose Node because creating a Rube Goldberg machine creates job security.
