Ooohhh Major Kudos to (new mainatiner) @worried-painter-31382 for the experimental JS support. I'm modernizing the Cherry-Picker GitHub Action using Javascript and wanted to put all the relevant code in-repo so I could test it (because testing actions is usually reserved for "in-prod"). It's such a breeze 🎉

Cool! I'm using pure JS in a few volunteer projects. @worried-painter-31382 do you think there are benefits to using Pants in a pure JS repo? Or this is more meant to help with multingual repos? (Our Go support, for example, is kind of like the latter)

Aside from pants main selling points like caching & hermecity, Id say no. Monorepos in JS are fairly well supported by e.g npm already

(to the OP) NO seriously, I've found several bugs now. This would've taken a day or two to completely rid myself of bugs

Yeah, as a generalization, I probably wouldn’t use Pants in a JS/TS only project, that ecosystem (while being the Wild West), covers everything imaginable.

cool, thanks. These are pretty simple projects using nothing fancy. Parcel (bundler), ESLint, Prettier. Monolingual. Most devs are not very experienced
