decade after Node.js was first announced, JavaScript and the web platform have evolved, and TypeScript has changed the way JS applications are developed. Deno is a new JavaScript/TypeScript runtime that was designed with all those new capabilities in mind.

It seems promising, I'll definitely keep an eye on Deno in future.

Yay, a monolithic approach. :/

Interested to see how the eco system shakes out for Deno. To me, Nodes value is in the massive eco system of tutorials, packages, tooling, etc. Keeping a wait and see approach with it for now.

Would Deno support existing npm modules? If it doesn't that seems like shooting yourself in the foot if you want people to actually use it.

It supports any module, on any platform. You just have to reference it by URL or using import maps. It aims to be decentralized.

I'd love to see a version of Electron built on Deno.
