About:
Deno is a modern, secure runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript, built with Rust. It addresses common Node.js pain points by including built-in tooling like a test runner, linter, and formatter, while enforcing secure-by-default permissions.
Key Features:
  • Secure by default with explicit permission flags
  • Built-in TypeScript support and tooling
  • Native Web API compatibility (fetch, WebSocket)
  • Single executable with no package.json or node_modules
Use Cases:
  • Running secure CLI tools and scripts
  • Building web servers and backend APIs
  • Automating tasks with built-in tooling
Alternatives:
  • node – Node.js requires external tools for TypeScript and linting, while Deno includes them natively
  • bun – Bun focuses on speed and Node.js compatibility, whereas Deno prioritizes security and Web standards
