I see. So you have these coreutils installed? Because if not, they're exactly as "simple" as cygwin, which is also not installed.

No, I don't. I have a vague recollection that cygwin was a huge and confusing monolith, but I haven't looked at it in years. This new javascript thing sounded more straight-forward. It's not really objectively supported.

I don't even like javascript.

Cygwin is pretty simple to install and use. Download an .exe installer, click click click, open the Cygwin prompt shortcut.
