# Does Litexa's deprecation mean my skills will stop working?

No! You can still use Litexa to generate and deploy new builds of your skills, and your existing skill deployments will be unaffected. This official repository and the npm package is deprecated, so no further patches or updates will happen, but you are free to fork it and update it as you see fit for your projects.

# I really like writing in TypeScript/CoffeeScript can I still do that?

Hey, actually we do too! Beyond a certain level of complexity, it's nice to split up your presentation code from your business logic, and the Litexa/JavaScript boundary is a great fit for that. The litexa generate command has a series of options, including primary code language and bundling strategy, that will help you jump right in.

# Why a language?

We just really care about syntax, and getting any boilerplate out of the way so that we're as close as we can be to just iterating on content.

# Can I make any kind of Alexa skill with Litexa?

You know, we've mostly made games with it, so we can't say for sure. We'd very much love to hear about your experiences if you try something else though. Feel free to submit a pull request if you need something to change!

# Does Litexa cover all Alexa functionality?

Litexa core is concerned with basic request routing and response generation.
