Security is literally the main selling point of this thing. Otherwise just use node.
” We feel that the landscape of JavaScript and the surrounding software infrastructure has changed enough that it was worthwhile to simplify. We seek a fun and productive scripting environment that can be used for a wide range of tasks.”
Sounds intriguing to me. As a fan of starting projects of as simply as possible, I will certainly be tinkering with Deno.
yarn global add ts-node prettier
echo 'alias deno="ts-node"' >> ~/.zshrc
echo 'alias deno-fmt="prettier --write"' >> ~/.zshrc
Deno provides a standard library, good defaults, top-level async-await, doesn't break browser compatibility, better API to integrate with runtime.Internals are nicer but that's with anything without ugly legacy.
They are working to get node_modules work in deno so I am kind of worried that it will be nodev2 all over.
