As communicated in the announcement they are working on publishing a js version of the OpenAI Agents SDK (openai-agents-python) What’s the timeline here? When can we expect to use it? Is there a not yet stable version available?

Am I the only one who thinks that Python is used to much, in these agentic frameworks which you see pop up?
Python is good for MVP, and scripts, but like the entire internet in terms of apps is build on typescript/javascript.
So I always wonder who they prioritise for?

cause the OpenAI Agents SDK is built on other python open-source agents SDK…
Yea, … lol, a big company like OpenAI wouldn’t have only released a Python version if not cause they didn’t totally code it themselves
They prioritize AI which the ecosystem is in python, to make it work in js the model providers write wrappers just like you can write all your server code in ts and run agents in python. There goes your very own wrapper.
I was waiting for this for 2 months but no one from OpenAI even answers anymore. Then I encountered openai-agents-js, which is a well-implemented JS port from a young developer. I found the library really cool. Actually if you know what the original SDK actually does, despite many people think it does magic, an unofficial port is very okay and safe. (It almost feels like giving each code file to ChatGPT to convert them to JS may work). So, I started to implement my company’s systems with this library and it’s going good so far. Of course, there are missing things, but I’m reporting them when I find some and maintainer takes care of them. I will also contribute to code base when I find some time after I’m done with my current project. Just so you know.
