Kretes is built on top of [esbuild](https://github.com/evanw/esbuild), a JavaScript/TypeScript bundler that is **100x-150x faster** than Webpack or Parcel. In development, client-side assets are **compiled on-demand** when requested. **Hot Reload** is instant and independent of the project size (so called O(1) bundling).


Develop Faster

Kretes uses the [Nix package manager](https://nixos.org/) for dependency management. Your project setup can be easily transferred between different machines, whether **sharing it with coworkers**, or when switching **from development to production environment**.


Share Project Setup

Kretes uses only **one programming language**: TypeScript, for the entire application (front-end to back-end). By using TypeScript across the board, there is just **one ecosystem**, **one tooling** and **one way of hiring** for software teams to learn and integrate.


TypeScript Everywhere

Kretes comes with a (eventually large) library of useful modules which are **developed in a coherent way**. It is an **integrated solution** that optimizes for programmers productivity by **reducing choices** and incorporating community conventions.
