Interesting list. Is there a non JS tool written in JavaScript?
- yakubin 5y agoVSCode.
- macando 5y agoI meant more like a language tool, something like a Go compiler written in JavaScript.
- q3k 5y agoIt’s probably selection bias (as I tend to not enjoy working with node.js software, and would probably actively pick alternatives), but I can’t think of any in my bubble (Go, Rust, Python, distributed systems, ...).
- kelt5120 5y agoGroovy Lint (the only stand-alone Groovy linter afaik) is written in javascript: https://github.com/nvuillam/npm-groovy-lint https://github.com/nvuillam/npm-groovy-lint
- vbsteven 5y agoA quick search for "rust", "kotlin" and "cpp" on npmjs.com shows a lot of packages. Not all are language tools, but I see stuff like linters, interpreters, compilers and lots of stuff related to WASM compilation and codegen.
- frou_dh 5y agoThe Pyright typechecker for Python (a Mypy alternative): https://github.com/microsoft/pyright https://github.com/microsoft/pyright
- skrtskrt 5y agoPyright is a full language server, not just a type checker, despite its top-line billing there as a type checker. I use it as the langugae server for Python development in COC for Neovim via coc-pyright. Further down the page it mentions that it implements language server protocol.
