I have not - but thanks for the share!

I'm very much hoping it'll be OSS'd at some point. It currently ships with templates zipped. I'd like to pull them out and change that mechanism to have each template represented as a git remote URL instead. After that, I think it's theoretically shippable. So 🤞 @joshuakgoldberg.com !

Delightful templates for web repositories. 💝 Bingo is a repository templating engine that allows you to instantiate ready-to-use repositories from flexible, powerful templates.

For the last six months I've been working on a CLI tool to help Investec start new apps; it's called Avalanche 🏔️ and is highly inspired by @joshuakgoldberg.com create-typescript-app which is now built with Bingo. They're solving slightly different problems but both use Handlebars 😅 www.create.bingo

So if you're the kind of person who writes TypeScript without emit features like enums etc, you could drop usage of ts-node as of Friday?

No

I remember TS before source maps! Yup, being able to tie back your bug in running code to source code was so important

For a new approaches to be tried in the first place, they need an acceptable off-ramp. I remember pitching my team this new fangled language "TypeScript" in 2013. They agreed to try it for one sprint. "If it doesn't work, we take the JS and bail" - they would have said "no" if that wasn't possible.

Gosh I love a New York accent. Just got chatting to some New Yorkers whose parents had moved there from Croatia. They looked Croatian. They sounded anything but. Accents thick like rich gravy. Just brilliant.

Bicep is a great language, but having no meaningful runtime outside of deployment time is a real limitation. I'm looking at implementing a Docusaurus swizzle type approach with Bicep templates, but can't really use Bicep itself to achieve it. TypeScript, I'm on my way!

Node excitement 😉

Congrats to @marcoippolito.dev on today's landmark Node 22.18 release. It is the first LTS release to ship unflagged TypeScript support 🎉

This means Node can run *.ts files. It pairs well with TypeScript's "erasableSyntaxOnly" flag 👍

Many folk contributed 🙏

I did the bluesky age check this week. I did it at about 5am and outdoors, but I was disconcerted by repeatedly failing the photo check with a message that read something like "human not identified" - maybe I am special 🤔

I'm down by the riverside writing a proposal for an evolution of a tool I work on and found myself typing out

"We ideally want people to be able to develop locally without swimming in a sea of red squigglies."

which I think was probably influenced by the watery setting in which I wrote it
