2nd nerd snipe brought it probably to within striking distance of being usable w/o bundling ; did have 1 major hack to deal w/ how require() works after sync ESM landed in core but rest is pretty readable. Lots to optimize though github.com/bmeck/sea-lo... - ThreadSky

TS support is pretty easy but can't disable warnings in SEA which is... odd

Truly awe inspiring that you have stayed committed to the idea of SEA as it's been solved over and over and over again 🐢🚀

I still remember the first SEA(esque) solution you showed me at Nodejitsu 🤯

It's a worthy cause. Even though I think the weird static compilation fetish that's consumed go, rust, most of the modern world is sick & perverse, an anti-objective born of extremely poor system management that folks are cowards to own up to.

Inclusive static compilation rocks. It should be an option for wide distribution.

But damn it should be a special case, for extreme portability. We should use our Linux os'es & available resources when possible.

Which is different again from bundling some side assets as SEA does, which rocks.

i'm very curious what you think i (a solo dev making software with 0-2 users) should do to integrate with system package managers.

jauntywk.bsky.social•12 days ago

Ok you got me.

As a paid-for software dev you really have no hope of upstream doing the good work for you.

Ideally you'd also make Debian and maybe rpm available. But static binary is sort of a must, is zero assumption.

(I just don't think that's the main case in the land of Linux/OSS.)

If you actually make me want to think you know what you are doing & are good, you'll run an apt repo too, so I can stay up to date via the normative OS expectations.

kinda hard to publish a .deb if you don't have a debian-based machine :p
