Targeting Node, Bun and Deno With F#
Does that import map thing feel familiar? well maybe I spoke about that a few months ago when I wrote about a project of mine (Perla) which uses import maps to allow you to write Single Page Applications without node installed!

Progressively Adding Fable to JS Projects
If you need to handle dependencies via CDN/Local Dist file then some dependencies won't work because they use node like imports import {} from 'lit/some/sub/directory.js browser imports need to start with / or ./ or even ../ so they can be valid ES module imports thankfully for this you can check out in a shameless plug one of the projects I'm working on: Perla which handles this precise case but I digress, the ideal situation would be you with npm and already figured out how to serve node dependencies to your compiled code.

Why did you (any .NET pro) either choose or switch to using F#?
The most "complex" application would be a webpack alternative in F#: AngelMunoz/Perla and maybe a simple migrations manager AngelMunoz/Migrondi

Building a webpack alternative in F#
Not the author, but it doesn't seem like you'll need dotnet installed from the docs
-
Building a Webpack alternative in F#
Whew! That was a lot! but shows how to build each part of the Webpack alternative I've been working on Called Perla there are still some gaps though

What are you working on? (2021-12)

Server Sent Events with Saturn and FSharp
I've been working in perla which is a cross-platform executable frontend dev-server/build-tool which is not tied to Nodejs or .NET meaning that you don't need to have .NET installed and neither Nodejs, at the same time it doesn't use npm or other things to handle dependencies it does so by leveraging skypack and import maps to let you use npm dependencies but from a CDN rather than locally.

Use Notion as your CMS along with Next.js
During my search for deploying Lambdas via GitHub actions, I came across a tutorial that utilized ncc for converting TypeScript and bundling. While ncc is effective, I discovered esbuild, which proved to be significantly faster and perfectly suited to my requirements.

Build a Vite 5 backend integration with Flask
Unlike Webpack, the Vite DevServer only compiles files when they are requested. It leverages ES module imports, which allow JS files to import other files without needing to bundle them together during development. When one file changes, only that file needs to be re-compiled, and the rest can remain unchanged. Project files are compiled with Rollup.js. Third-party dependencies in node_modules are pre-compiled using the ultra-fast esbuild bundler for maximum speed, and they are cached until the dependency version changes. Vite also provides a client script for hot module reloading.

How to run TypeScript natively in Node.js with TSX
TSX is the newest and most improved version of our ts-node, using ESBuild to transpile TS files to JS very quickly. The most interesting part is that TSX was developed to be a complete replacement for Node, so you can actually use TSX as a TypeScript REPL, if you install it globally with npm i -g tsx, just run tsx in your terminal and you can write TSX natively. But what's even cooler is that you can load TSX for all TypeScript files using --loader tsx when you run your file. For example, let's say we have this file called index.ts:
