You don't really need NPM hosting with Deno. What you need is an index: sources can be hosted elsewhere independently, and instead people can build sites for popular module lookups.
A package manager is different from package hosting. In the case of Deno you can still build and use third party package managers (and they might be able to utilize Deno's import-maps support to achieve some "magic")
- aikah 7y agoHow and does deno deals with extensions built in C/C++ for instance?
- kevinkassimo 7y agoWe currently support Rust message-passing based plugins. Rust sources can be fetched with Cargo or other alternative tools. Maybe (just "maybe" for now) we will be able to support plugin imports. In that case dylibs could be directly pulled down from network just like normal files (don't take my words as official though -- we have not decided on that yet) There have been attempts to add some util functions for loading such plugins easier: https://github.com/denoland/deno/pull/3471 https://github.com/denoland/deno/pull/3471
