I updated the URL to the repo itself, since it's actually mostly written in JS/TS... but as a completely separate language, it's otherwise borderline off-topic.

Edit: not knocking the tooling at all, which is pretty interesting.  I've been a relatively heavy proponent of just using scripting language(s) and some unified libraries as much as possible for different ETL work... especially variations on data ingress/egress.  Where it's sometimes easier to manage many different solutions for each resource over trying to create more complex tooling.

Thanks! The primary form is a npm library so it did seem relevant here, hope it is.
definitely agree on the main purpose, I'm just now playing with plaintext/fixed length for an ETL home made process to try to get a customer not to try something in cobol..
I do see some usage as a library/server though.

If you haven't done so yet, take a look at Deno... I know bun is getting more attention, but IMO Deno works much better in terms of a shell scripting environment.. single executable, directly reference your packages (npm, jsr, http(s)), and no separate install step or node_modules (shared cache).

And yeah, not sure that I'd pull Cobol into anything at this point.. even mainframes have a lot more options in terms of recent-ish languages.
