How do you work in terminal having that hard pass feeling? There are numerous CLI utils written in scripting (usually interpreted) languages. They do their job so well that some of them are here for decades already. Actually quite a lot of people don't even realize that many of CLI things they use are shell, or Perl scripts.
I suppose it depends on what work someone is doing. I'm an SRE and haven't had too many issues keeping my CLI dependencies to a minimum. It could just be my minimalist nature creeping in, though.
