yeah the dream of being able to share at the very least data types client and server side is pretty elusive. Most projects you could probably build twice before you could get client and server side sharing much code. Also just shocking me to me how averse the whole nodejs community is to shell commands like

https://guides.rubyonrails.org/v4.2/command_line.html#custom... https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/howto/custom-managemen...

I guess though, the people in the Ruby / Django community are actually building projects and the node community are padding their resume with new npm packages.

I hope deno or dart can make the JS world better, but I suspect they will both end up just making it more fragmented. One thing I really like on flutter / dart is they do try to rate / otherwise rank / categorize support of their packages aside from stars https://pub.dev/packages?sort=popularity / downloads which are easy to manipulate. IMO deno should do this as well or let someone willing to takeover as the primary package manager https://deno.land/x/lodash@4.17.19
