    I haven't specifically tested it but it _should_ be supported. I don't have easy access to graviton instances at this moment, but I've previously used https://github.com/LukeChannings/deno-arm64 with great success.

    As long as your ARM OS is 64-bit, Deno should function properly. 32-bit _might_ be supported, but TBH we don't do any testing of those configurations as far as I'm aware.

    There are still no RPi builds as far as I am aware, which is a shame as there are now Mac silicon builds so not sure what the hold up is. I do wonder if there are.more Raspberry Pi's out there than M1/M2 Macs :)

    Someone is doing the builds here - been using them and seem ok: https://github.com/LukeChannings/deno-arm64

    I really enjoy frontend/node/typescript development. I roll my eyes whenever the HN-types complain about CSS or frontend development being a hellhole. Mostly the comments I see seem ignorant or impatient ("Why doesn't this thing work without be bothering to learn it?")

    However, the intersection of typescript, nodejs, and ES modules is consistently the most frustrating experience I ever have. Trying to figure out which magic incantation of tsconfig/esbuild/tsc/node options will let me just write code and run it is a fools errand. You might figure something out, and then you try to use Jest and then you descend into madness again.

    The biggest tip I can give people is to ditch ts-node and just use (the awkwardly named) tsx https://github.com/privatenumber/tsx, which pretty much just "mostly works" for running Typescript during dev for node.

    The problem mostly seems to stem for all the stakeholders being pretty dogmatic to whatever their goals are, rather than the pragmatic option of just meeting people where they are. I really wish the Node, Typescript, Deno/Bun, and maybe some bundler people would come together and figure out how to make this easier for people.

    If your TypeORM entity is written in TypeScript, you have to run ERDIA using ts-node or tsx as follows.
  • xtsz - a TS / JS file runner with support for HTTP/S imports
    5 projects | /r/node | 22 Apr 2023
    Want to import a package / file conveniently from esm.sh or unpkg or directly from a GitHub repo for a one-off script (for example). To do this I created a custom ESBuild plugin to handle HTTP imports - that worked for ,js files. To support running both ESM and CJS, I use tsx.

    I prefer tsx honestly. Nodemon will detect that your using TypeScript and switch from node to ts-node but tsx is a no config necessary version of ts-node that also runs faster. Of course you can configure ts-node to use swc to be faster but then you're playing with config files to get things working.

    Dude I just worked on a PoC a few hours ago. What I did was use ReactDOM's renderToStaticMarkup and tsx to execute the script so I get jsx transpilation on the fly.

    _tsx is a CLI command (alternative to node) for seamlessly running TypeScript & ESM, in both commonjs & module package types.

    It's powered by esbuild so it's insanely fast._
