- A monorepo build tool that handles having a "base" Dockerfile that builds the monorepo dependencies (npm install + npm build) but that then lets sub-images use a subset of the repo easily without needing to re-install/re-build.

- A really nice TypeScript shell scripting setup. I'd like to see Duktape or JavascriptCore used, combine with esbuild/swc, Actually Potable Executable, and ShellJS. Basically, give me a single binary that runs cross platform, so I can write my scripts using TS. Anything to save me from having to continue googling weird bash edge-cases constantly.

Isn't deno a nice typescript setup for this use case?

I don’t want to install deno into every Dockerfile, CI box, etc. For scripting, a light universal binary is a must.
