What's so hard about JS toolchain?

    yarn create next-app --typescript

... and I am done

Now include installing node/npm initially and setting that app up for CI/CD

Sure:

    FROM node:16

Done (including dev env with VSCode dev containers).

And if you created a Next app as I suggested, your CI config is super-easy - you need to place 3 commands into your YAML and that's it:

    yarn lint
    yarn build
    yarn start

I feel like using docker is cheating as you could do that with Rust as well

But can I? I haven't tried recently, but when I tried to setup a dev container for Rust last year I had to do the setup by hand on a raw Ubuntu image.

Anyways, cargo and rustup are cool tools, I don't want to criticize Rust. I just don't think the JS tooling is so outlandish as people make it seem so.

For me it’s the same

        yarn create react-app my-app --template typescript
