You can continue using pnpm if you want. Nub is a la carte. Nub's runtime or script runner functionality will work with any package manager that uses node_modules (actually Yarn Pn…

Exactly this. TypeScript also ended up being many users' entrypoint to JSX, decorators, etc as it became a catchall transpiler surface so respecting tsconfig is vital here (Node un…

Indeed, Nub intentionally introduces no Nub-specific APIs: no Nub global, no nub: prefixed built-in modules, no Nub-named config file / lockfile, no "nub" field in package.json, no…

Certainly. We're using subtrees now instead of submodules, lets avoids some tricky worktree/submodule interactions during local dev. We've already pulled changes since that PR land…

EDIT: Sorry, I understand you're talking about package.json. Would be fun to try to get the Node & package mgmt teams aligned to add support for comments in the package.json. Bun t…

I almost called it "oi" but I'm not sure anyone would have gotten the joke :P

Right now, you should use Nub on the backend if you are relying on its augmentations. If you specifically want to disable Nub's augmentations (so you have a guarantee that your app…

We use this to register our preload purely for performance reasons. In this and many other cases CommonJS is still faster than ESM. Using --require is about 0.5ms overhead vs 4.6ms…

It entered public beta last week, but just getting on HN now.

Coming very soon!

Thanks :) Highly recommend clicking the link too!

Yep, full support on macOS, Linux, Windows. No official image yet (I'll start on this now) but you can get started with something like this. FROM node:26-slim RUN npm i -g @nubjs/n…

Cloudflare Workers is a different runtime and has its own toolchain around it. Nub could theoretically support it when executing files (spawn `wrangler dev` instead of `node` if wr…

Colin here, creator of Nub. I’ve had the general shape of this in mind for years. Nub runs your code with stock `node`, augmented with a `--require` preload hook[0] that adds a tra…

As you allude to: your aliased "zod-next" dependency wouldn't be able to satisfy the requirements of any packages with a peer dep on Zod. But this approach has a more fundamental f…

It won't typecheck, which is good in this case, because as you say that's a very bad idea :)

I understand this as a knee-jerk reaction. I didn't do this lightly. > Perhaps publish a 4.x along with the 3.x stuff You have some misconceptions about how npm works. Unfortunatel…

No, that kind of interop, especially static interop (assignability), would've been totally unworkable. Despite the length of the changelog, there are very few breaking changes to t…

Yes! Zod now differentiates between `z.string().optional()` and `z.union([z.string(), z.undefined()])` (as in TypeScript itself). Details: https://x.com/colinhacks/status/191929150…
