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.

Building a Webpack alternative in F#
This is the golden apple I'm not entirely sure how to tackle... There's an HMR spec that I will follow for that since that's what snowpack/vite's HMR is based on, libraries like Fable.Lit, or Elmish.HMR are working towards being compatible with vite's HMR, so if Perla can make it work like them, then we won't even need to write any specific code for Perla.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Perla and esm-hmr you can also consider the following projects:
Fable: F# |> BABEL - F# to JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Rust and Dart Compiler
vite - Next generation frontend tooling. It's fast!
ionide-vscode-fsharp - VS Code plugin for F# development
esbuild - An extremely fast bundler for the web
Saturn - Opinionated, web development framework for F# which implements the server-side, functional MVC pattern
parcel - The zero configuration build tool for the web. 📦🚀
Lambda-Calculus - A simple Programming Language Compiler to Lambda-Calculus, with a Lambda-Runtime
import-maps - How to control the behavior of JavaScript imports
Fable.Lit - Write Fable Elmish apps with Lit
FuseBox - A blazing fast js bundler/loader with a comprehensive API :fire:
