Package ecosystem

[Shakeskeyboarde]

From the docs/webpage it sounds like there are plans for a package ecosystem (registry) featuring native (rust?) implemented packages.

Will packages have to be native implementations in rust or similar? Or, will typescript packages be supported?

If typescript packages are supported, will they be distributed as source, or as Perry compiled binaries?

I'm coming from Go, so the idea of source as the distribution appeals, and also seems more friendly to debugging.

Hi @Shakeskeyboarde

the idea was floating around, for sure!

However, for right now we settled with using NPM. NPM also supports shipping the typescript source and/or Rust sources. So for our purposes we can just use without having to build a second infrastructure.

If in the future it turns out that having a dedicasted package manager does make sense we will revisit this!
