Any interested in NodeJS port?

[igorshmukler]

Hello,

I have been playing with a NodeJS/Typescript build of semantic kernel for a few days. Got the library to compile and to run some samples. Any interest in this?
My WIP version is available at https://github.com/igorshmukler/semantic-kernel/

Thanks

For production deployments, starting with SK now is reasonable - the core kernel, connectors, and plugin system are stable. The Agent Framework adds orchestration patterns (group chat, handoffs) on top.

The main thing to watch: the Agent Framework API is still evolving, especially around multi-agent coordination and state management. If you build on SK core (Kernel + plugins + planners), migration to the Agent Framework later is incremental since agents use the same kernel underneath.

Practical advice: use SK core for your business logic and plugin definitions. Keep agent orchestration patterns in a thin layer you can swap out. That way you are not blocked waiting for GA but also not locked into pre-GA APIs.

This is not the path we'd recommend - please start with Microsoft Agent Framework now.

Agent Framework is SK's successor SDK, and pretty much a re-write of things to make it easier and better to use.

This is not true - there is no kernel in MAF.

@igorshmukler we appreciate you reach out about this, but we won't be moving forward with a TypeScript SDK for SK.
