Deno: How about draw picture of the Deno's architecture?

[JackieLs]

May be we could know how to code, but more eager to know the architecture. So could we have an article to introduce it more detailed？

[rustkt]

Yes, a clear picture of the Deno's architecture can lead us newbies to explore the sources conveniently.

PS the event-loop is pub/sub (dispatch.ts/go)
@ry Do you confirm this?

[monkingxue]

@qti3e I like this graph and it's so clear, we can add it to README.

[qti3e]

@monkingxue Thanks for the suggestion : )
But it's my point of view, and Ryan might want to present this project in some other ways...
let's wait till he says something...

@qti3e [ts compiler] [Fetch ts] Is it executed in V8?

[qti3e]

@hufeng we have this Eval() function defined in main.go to evaluate a JS (not TS) string inside our V8 contex:
https://github.com/ry/deno/blob/b723ab126f5cc37b27d914e6cbdba9a4f9ce1c71/main.go#L100-L105

We use a similar way in Init() to load our main JS file:
https://github.com/ry/deno/blob/b723ab126f5cc37b27d914e6cbdba9a4f9ce1c71/main.go#L94-L97

As you see this uses a function called stringAsset(), you can check out go-bindata for more information... but for now we just need to know it loads a file, which is main.js.

main.js is a pre-compiled ts file in dist dir, look at this Makefile entity:
https://github.com/ry/deno/blob/b723ab126f5cc37b27d914e6cbdba9a4f9ce1c71/Makefile#L55-L57

Finally, we executed Deno's core js file inside V8, and that's the beginning of all magic : )

FYI; You can find codes related to ts compiler inside runtime.ts.

@qti3e thank you. ❤️
