Cloudflare CAPTCHAs are guarding literally millions of sites, stuff nowhere even near the top 10℅ let alone top 10

They lost me just describing the notation lol

Same!

Im 99℅ certain this could not handle an Electron project.

The use case, imo, is to be able to write server side code in familiar TypeScript, then deploy it as a small single native binary (vs Node and Bun which embed the entire 100MB+ runtime when you build a native binary.) Electron for the record ships their own modified Node runtime (not ABI compatible) on top of the whole Chromium renderer


Im 99% certain it cannot. This seems better suited to server side projects.

Deno is building a less-wasteful Electron style framework for native desktop apps


Recent versions of Node can package a backend into a single binary already, it'll just be 100MB+ and embed the whole Node runtime.

This is more equivalent to Go, with a single static native binary that does not include the whole Node runtime


Personally i can kind of see a use case here. I've shipped some simple server side packages as a "compiled" Node single executable written in TS, but you're stuck with the big overhead of Node.

I've just been teaching myself Go, also a single binary but without the overhead. But in Go i miss the expressiveness of the TS type system sometimes.


I don't actually see any dependencies other than node and typescript (and the optional quickjs package) (maybe they inlined dependencies? But the package.json files don't indicate any npm dependencies)

Both, basically. Default is the subset, but you can enable an interpreter
