  How to control the behavior of JavaScript imports

  

  Is import maps considered an accepted proposal [1]?

  What's the point of implementing APIs like WebGPU and localstorage in a non-browser environment? I get WHATWG streams, esm, fetch and WebCrypro though.

  0 3 0.0 TypeScript

  A statically typed programming language and compiler (by s-i-e-v-e)

  > 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.
