I often build project specific tooling, to generate code or just transform some data, but maybe someday I create a FOSS version I can share.

Stuff like parse some XML or JSON and output Go structs and functions and Typescript types and functions, HTML,React Components, SQL Tables, Stored functions, Pl/PGSQL.

Mostly to avoid writing boilerplate when I use the same data structures in the database, middleware, client. For simple CRUD apps, it works well. I use local KV to track changes so I don't have to rerun things I don't need.

But Deno is great for CLI reporting tools or Scheduled tasks, fetch and aggregate data.

I think of Deno as a little swiss army knife. It's a tool that got everything built in.

I use the Repl a lot, just for a specific task, get it done then move on.
