How is it using something like this vs just a bash alternative. Can you use this in the shell or only as a compiled language?

If you can use an alternative then do that. This is for situations where you can't use an alternative or don't want users to have to install anything else.

you still have to install this though

You don't have to install it on the machine where the script is run. That's the point.
