Deno is a modern, secure runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript that uses V8 and is built in Rust. It is designed to be a productive and safe environment for developers, offering a fresh take on server-side scripting. Deno comes with built-in utilities like a dependency inspector, a code formatter, and a linter, making it a comprehensive tool for development. It emphasizes security by default, requiring explicit permission for file, network, and environment access. Additionally, Deno supports TypeScript out of the box, eliminating the need for additional configuration. With its focus on simplicity, security, and developer productivity, Deno is a powerful choice for modern web development.
Deno is absolutely the bomb! I’ve played around with it for a few weeks now and it’s just fun to use! The vibes are great and coding feels more relaxed. Loving it!
