Development

This project is built with Deno

Although this project uses a stable version of Deno, it needs the --unstable flag for a few APIs and makes use of the Deno Standard Modules which are pre 1.0. Because of this, it is still recommended to use the specific version of Deno listed in src/version.ts. The program will warn the user if the version of Deno being run does not match the version listed there.
