Deno support

[pierredewilde]

Hi,

I know this is a challenging request. Currently, JZZ.js supports both browsers and Node.js.

Deno is approaching 1.0 version and it may be a good time to migrate JZZ.js to Deno.

Thanks,
Pierre

Hi!

Thanks for the tip! That sounds like an interesting idea for the future development.
However, it may take me some time to get more familiar with Deno and to finish some more urgent tasks.

Thank you,
sema

I concur. That's just a lead to keep JZZ on the right track.

Thank you for JZZ. It's an incredibly useful part of musical apps.

After a quick glance at Deno, I think the solution will be similar to that for Electron:

Unless there is a way to compile C++ modules for it...

Any better ideas?

Something like jazz_midi_deno module as low-level MIDI support for Deno ? Yep, that would be a great first step by following Deno style guide.

Rewriting JZZ MIDI library for Deno in TypeScript JZZ.ts would probably require lots of resources for a small addition. Too bad but understandable.

Thanks,
Pierre

As I understand, Deno also accepts plain old JavaScript, so, hopefully, JZZ will not require much changes...

Unfortunately, Deno/WASM don't support native code at the moment.
I'm afraid we'll have to postpone this till the better times...
