Typescript, but Fun

I like Deno.

Weird thing to say about a JavaScript runtime, sure, but I like it. The flow of having an idea to

 mkdir ~/projects/new-project
 z projects/new-project
 deno init
 nvim main.ts # :wq
 deno task start

and having something tangible running is really nice. That's TypeScript, but fun.

Things I Don't Like

• Setting up linters(yes, that includes you TypeScript) for every project.
• Configuring the test runner to work with the linters.
• Slow tests and linters

Things I Like About Deno

• Running a Typescript file Just Works©️
• deno fmt and deno test are fast.
