Roarn is a CLI tool similarly to how Rojo works. You would be running this outside Roblox on a Terminal. Although I am in the works for Roblox Studio compatibility.
Why use this over wally? Wally is by the team behind Adopt Me, which means it would be well maintained. Additionally it is written in Rust rather than node, which is incredibly faster than node.
First, Roarn has features that Wally does not have, like popular packages, package searching (which is critical for package managers), safer end-to-end registry requests, and a better OAuth2 system for authentication between CLI-Server.
Not forgetting Roarn has been in the works for way before Wally has even been announced with our vision to help package managing on Roblox.
We also have many other features in the works for the future of package management on Roblox such as private packages, a desktop app for a WAY better, and faster experience, Roblox Studio compatibility, and a lot more.
We also have a team which is working to maintain Roarn, fix bugs, and make it better to use at all times, so that shouldn’t be something to ever worry about.
We severely improved our documentation recently creating a new immersive and more helpful experience. We hope you can understand how to use Roarn more with it.
