Nothing solves env loading and validation better than Varlock.
Nub v0.7 adds first-party support. If your repo contains an .env.schema file, Nub uses Varlock to load/validate your environment when running a file or script 👇 https://t.co/4yc2DKR8Wq

🛑 .env.example is an anti-pattern
- copy-paste means it gets out of sync
- mix of real values and placeholders
- source of truth is scattered (real env file, validation code, usage sites, readme)
- no way to understand which items are sensitive
.env.schema is the answer!

on the subject—if you're using an AI code review platform with per-seat pricing (CodeRabbit, Greptile, etc) consider how it perverts incentives.
these platforms are incentivized to use cheaper models to boost margins. if you want SOTA, use @pullfrogai and bring your own key ✨

Nub ships with a built-in package manager shimmer. Corepack's back! 😇
You can use your existing package manager in conjunction with Nub (with or without the shimmer) https://t.co/lhAMjczwwG

If you're using a different package manager, Nub detects that & runs in compat mode
🔐 reads and writes to your existing lockfile (roundtrip!)
⚙️ respects your config files (see chart)
⚡️ zero config changes required in 99% of cases (Nub aborts if unsupported config is detected)

And because it uses Node itself under the hood, there are no unexpected behavioral divergences.
Here's how it does on Deno's Node.js compatibility test suite: https://t.co/pmnfjTQuiY

Nub is "everything but the runtime". When you run a file, Nub detects your project's Node version, auto-installs it if needed, and runs your code with it (no nvm/fnm needed)
It respects (in order)
👉 package.json#devEngines
👉 .node-version
👉 .nvmrc
👉 package.json#engines https://

Node.js now provides a powerful set of extension mechanisms that (mostly) didn't exist when Deno/Bun started:
👉 preload scripts (--import)
👉 module resolution plugins (module.registerHooks)
👉 Node-API native addons

Nub uses these to add Bun's best features on top of stock Node.js
✅ non-erasable TS syntax (e.g. enums)
✅ TS-friendly module resolution (tsconfig-paths, extensionless imports)
✅ JSX
✅ decorators
✅ .env autoloading
✅ yaml/toml imports
✅ `Worker`
✅ `using`
✅ a lot more
