Deno Is Now on MDN
> wrt Java
Not just Java. Python, Ruby, Node etc suffer from the same problem. And I am taking as an end-user here.
I once downloaded something based on one runtime which then proceeded to download another runtime which it needed to run one little script. There are programs out there that have node/npm as a dependency.[1] People are crazy.
> your 3 listed reasons make a very argument for "a normal compiled language"
One of my hobbies involves writing compilers and parsers.[2][3] I have tried a lot of "normal" languages and have stuck to Java (in spite of its excessive verbosity) for work reasons. Some languages I cannot tolerate for aesthetic reasons.
For now, there is no alternative to TypeScript.
> you wrote software 2 ways: shellscripts and Java. You replaced them with...any entirely new interpreted language(JS)
I used to run a mixed-environment (Windows + Unix) and a lot of glue code that drove other software had to be written twice (sh/bash + cmd/bat) before WSL came along. That problem has disappeared.
I also used to write a lot of tools (servers and cli apps) in Java. Some of those I have moved over TypeScript-on-Deno.
> I'm not denigrating JS/deno/node/whatever
I used to look down on JS a decade or so back. My experience with Rhino and now Deno changed that. There is a lot of stuff that I do now which I simply would not do if I have to fire up an entire Java project to do that.

The KDL Document Language
Hi!
I'm the author of the Java KDL library, https://github.com/hkolbeck/kdl4j. I'm currently overwhelmed by other things and unable to do the work to get it up to the 1.0.0 spec. I'm looking for folks willing to help me. DM me on Twitter at the same name if you're interested.
What are some alternatives?
deno - A modern runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript.
kdl-rs - Rust parser for KDL
kdl - the kdl document language specifications
Kaitai Struct - Kaitai Struct: declarative language to generate binary data parsers in C++ / C# / Go / Java / JavaScript / Lua / Nim / Perl / PHP / Python / Ruby
kaydle - An alternative implementation of Kat's Document Language, including serde integration
import-maps - How to control the behavior of JavaScript imports
