Why does this sound like an extremely bad idea? Javascript + rm
-rf? That's like russian roulette with 5 bullets, not just one.

Not more a bad idea that python's shutil.rmtree.
I don't see why JavaScript would be less a language than any other
languages here. Nobody forces you to use it, if you don't trust it.

Also it's probably better to actually have one working and tested
function than none at all.
