I am not a programmer but I have to mess with Windows a lot for a living :(

Usually I get everything done with Batch or PS but of course thats not fancy enough for the common MS user, so I had to resort to this even bigger MeSs, called HTAs once... Oh dear! Personally I am a real computing masochist (I use telegram-cli on my phone) but that was too painfull, even for me. VBS and Batch paired with JS and HTML? Syntax highlighting really was the least of my problems! I still have to maintain this crap and I am not sure what took more of my lifetime by now, the debugging (msgbox "got here") of - or the reccuring nightmares about it...

A bit offtopic, but does Telegram-cli work again? Or maybe it never stopped working in the first place? When I used Arch some years ago that was my preferred client, but it was unmantained and it finally stopped working.
