Congratulations on the 1.0 release! I've been using Deno as my primary "hacking" runtime for several months now, I appreciate how quickly I can throw together a simple script and get something working. (It's even easier than ts-node, which I primarily used previously.)
I would love to see more focus in the future on the REPL in Deno. I still find myself trying things in the Node.js REPL for the autocomplete support. I'm excited to see how Deno can take advantage of native TypeScript support to make a REPL more productive: subtle type hinting, integrated tsdocs, and type-aware autocomplete (especially for a future pipeline operator).
- indemnity 6y agoSeconded, a Deno TS REPL would be amazing, but they probably have a few bigger fish to fry yet :)
- IggleSniggle 6y ago> bigger fish to fry > fish I see what you did there, and I approve.
- damagednoob 6y agoI evaluated replacing ts-node with deno but if I use -T and install ts-node globally that seems equivalent to deno to me. I think stepping outside the npm ecosystem is going to be a bigger issue then people think.
- feihcsim 6y agoi wonder if it's conceivable to ever write typescript in a REPL
- regularfry 6y agoThere are both ocaml and haskell repls, so it can be done with languages whose type systems are the focus. Not sure if there's anything specific about typescript that would make it hard, though.
- Pyrodogg 6y agoRepl.it recently announced a Deno REPL https://repl.it/languages/deno https://repl.it/languages/deno
- MuffinFlavored 6y agoI really wish they had docker-compose / Terraform support. Just not sure at what point that becomes "free" hosting.
