ECMAScript, JavaScript, TypeScript

[egasimus]

Since the stuff built with Fadroma more often than not ends up touching a browser, we've chosen for Fadroma to be glued together by JavaScript™, more concretely its Microsoft dialect TypeScript, more abstractly the ES6+ family of languages.

• Currently, Fadroma is developed against Deno, which runs TypeScript out of the box.

• For Node.js, we default to tsx (which is like NPX, not like JSX). Past versions of Fadroma used Ganesha to load TypeScript.

• Projects generated by https://fadroma.tech should run on either runtime. If you encounter a discrepancy, please report it. We also welcome reports of running Fadroma on Bun as well as other JS platforms.

On either Deno or Node, we remain coupled to the NPM ecosystem, and default to PNPM for it.
