Hi, I'm Kit.
I am a husband. I am a father. I am a technologist. I have lots of opinions. I work on M&A due diligence.
resumé / cvMy latest ramblings, about the things that interest me.
Both Fresh 2 and Deploy Early Access are being heavily worked on, but I wanted to take both for a "test drive" to see what the current state of play was for both of these, in particular what it takes to move from Fresh 1 and the original Deno Deploy, which has been a host to this blog for a long time.
Since I was writing recently about getting oak to work under Deno, Deno Deploy, Node.js, Bun and Cloudflare Workers, I started to wonder if there would be performance differences. Well I found out.
The Javascript eco-system is varied these days and JSR is attempting to be a package registry up for the challenge. I wanted to share my experience of taking the middleware framework I originally wrote for Deno and making it work under Node.js, Bun and Cloudflare Workers.
Open source projects that I created or had a significant role in developing.
A former core team member, having worked on Deno for four and half years. Mainly focused on the TypeScript integration, the language server, and other DX features.
A community effort to enrich TypeScript diagnostics, providing documentation of what can cause the diagnostic to occur and common fixes or workarounds.
The most popular server middleware framework for Deno. Adapting a lot of concepts from Express or koa.
Static code toxicity analysis for JavaScript and TypeScript, based on Erik Dörnenburg's concepts described in How toxic is your code?
Former project lead, taking the "legacy" Dojo Toolkit and re-inventing it as a modern JavaScript/TypeScript web application framework.
A convention testing framework for JavaScript/TypeScript.
Server side rendering for Chart.js, intended for use with Fresh.
