#SilverBullet 2.6 released!

This is a big one. Under the hood, the entire TypeScript/client codebase has migrated from Deno to Node.js (now using vitest for tests), with bundle size optimizations via chunked ESBuild builds and JIT loading of larger modules. There's a brand new (experimental) Runtime API and accompanying CLI that let you programmatically drive a remote SilverBullet server, evaluating Lua expressions among other things. And more!

@silverbulletmd interesting. Usually its node to deno! What made the change? I have no real investment in either nowadays, but im curious.

@michael First of all, the only remaining use of Deno was to build the frontend. The backend had already been rewritten to Go a while ago. For the frontend, the node.js ecosystem is richer and more stable. I've spent many an hour fighting Deno regressions over the years and it's not really worth it. I also am not super sure about Deno's future to be honest. I don't get a sense they're doing so well as a company (lay-offs recently). Node.js will be around for a long time, so it's the safer bet.
