capacitor version for deno-ts dev ?

[elycheikhsmail]

is possible to run capacitor cli equivalent using deno as js/ts runtime instad of nodejs ? is capacitor planning this ?

Well Capacitor doesn't run on Node (except on Electron I suppose), it uses the web engine available on each platform. For example, that's the WebKit engine in WKWebView and the Chrome engine on Android. Neither of those are Node contexts, so the idea of swapping it out with a different JS engine, while possible for some non-web operations (such as those that would be done with JavaScriptCore), isn't possible for the rest of the app.

mlynch, the question is about @capacitor/cli.

There are no plans to switch to deno as runtime at the moment.

I understand this thank you.
