# Introduction

Slashasaurus is a command framework built on top of [discord.js](https://github.com/discordjs/discord.js). It takes inspiration from [React](https://reactjs.org/) and [Next.JS](https://nextjs.org/) with the goal of making a Discord bot feel a bit more like writing a front-end app.

Slashasaurus was built around TypeScript, so many of the features take advantage of what TypeScript provides. The library will still work with JavaScript, but TypeScript will provide a much better developer experience. If you're not familiar with TypeScript, it's fairly easy to get started with if you already know JavaScript.
