+title: Goal
+description: sern's goal is to make bot development easier and more efficient
+sidebar:
+  order: 10
+---
+
+This reference will have JavaScript but many snippets are easily transferrable to Typescript.
+
+# why?
+There's a **lack of sane ways** to build Discord bots. 
+Some advocate to *build your own abstractions*, use clunky archaic codebases that are rarely maintained, or install frameworks that don't satisfy your needs. 
+
+**Keep it simple!**
+
+
+# sern is built for these things in mind
+
+- **Modularity**: sern is built with modularity in mind. You can swap pieces and parts easily.
+- **Familiarity**: Commands and structures are similar to classic v12 handlers and the official Discord.js command handler guide, while packing many features!
+- **Concise**: Too much code is a liability. With sern, write less for more. 🤯

+# Our community
+
+As of 01/23/2025, our [discord](https://sern.dev/discord) is considered small, but it is no excuse for helping those who want to build bots with us. Feel free to join us!
