Congratulations on the 1.0 release! I've been using Deno as my primary "hacking" runtime for several months now, I appreciate how quickly I can throw together a simple script and get something working. (It's even easier than ts-node, which I primarily used previously.)

I would love to see more focus in the future on the REPL in Deno. I still find myself trying things in the Node.js REPL for the autocomplete support. I'm excited to see how Deno can take advantage of native TypeScript support to make a REPL more productive: subtle type hinting, integrated tsdocs, and type-aware autocomplete (especially for a future pipeline operator).

Seconded, a Deno TS REPL would be amazing, but they probably have a few bigger fish to fry yet :)

I see what you did there, and I approve.

I evaluated replacing ts-node with deno but if I use -T and install ts-node globally that seems equivalent to deno to me.

I think stepping outside the npm ecosystem is going to be a bigger issue then people think.

Repl.it recently announced a Deno REPL https://repl.it/languages/deno

I really wish they had docker-compose / Terraform support. Just not sure at what point that becomes "free" hosting.

i wonder if it's conceivable to ever write typescript in a REPL

There are both ocaml and haskell repls, so it can be done with languages whose type systems are the focus. Not sure if there's anything specific about typescript that would make it hard, though.
