How do I publish a Rust CLI on JSR
I am currently developing a CLI in Rust and would like to make it available to Typescript devs. There are several packages on NPM that wrap a CLI written in Rust or Go (e.g. Supabase CLI, Turborepo).
Can I publish such CLI on JSR instead? How to do that?

I wasn't able to find the answer to your question in the official Deno documentation. However, based on your message, it seems like you're looking to make your Rust CLI available to TypeScript developers, potentially through the Deno ecosystem.
While I can't provide specific guidance on publishing a Rust CLI on JSR (JavaScript Registry), I can tell you that Deno has its own third-party module registry called Deno.land/x, where you can publish Deno modules. If you want to make your Rust CLI available to Deno users, you would typically compile your Rust code to a WebAssembly module or create a plugin, and then publish it on Deno.land/x.
Please note that this advice is not based on the Deno documentation, and I would advise you to double-check the accuracy of this advice. For the most accurate and up-to-date information on publishing modules to Deno.land/x, please refer to the official Deno documentation or the Deno community for further assistance.
You'll need to use FFI for that. I have published a zod alternative with all the functionality implemented in c++, here's the repo: https://github.com/Jabolol/blueprint
Check out the github actions to build cross platform, and to deploy to jsr.

Thanks, I will have a look and see, if it helps me.
Does JSR support CLIs? Or is it limited to ESM?
