Yeah, Node works fine at the command line for me with jaws or nvda.

At the risk of causing fiery armageddon to rain from the sky ...what's the
matter with NVDA and node? I've not done this in a while but when I messed with
it several years ago it seemed to work fine from the commandline?
Thanks,
Florian

How I stopped worrying and learned to love JavaScript (shoutout for** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:-
fans of cult classic 1960's movies).
I'm working on learning React which means I need to brush up on JavaScript.
As I hope many people here realize, a REPL like Python or Ruby comes
with, is a great way to experiment and solidify one's understandings
of nuances of different constructs. I also like to use the Python
REPL, import requests, and poke at third party REST APIs. It's like a
more interactive curl.
<editing out rant about looking for a JavaScript REPL and how badly
node works on the command line with NVDA>
About at the end of my rope, I recalled hearing about deno
(https://deno.land). The scales have fallen from my eyes.
<editing out effusive praise for deno>
Indeed, deno has what seems so far to be a great JS REPL,
https://deno.land/manual@main/tools/repl. It works great with NVDA ;
running from a bash shell on Ubuntu 20.04 running on WSL2 on Windows 10.
In general, though I've only poked around for a day or so, deno seems
like a great project. The manual is very accessible and easy to
navigate with Firefox and NVDA.
Cheers,
Joel
