Is there a particular advantage to how this is done here with Deno or is this just an example of server side rendering being possible in Deno? The latter is fine as I'm a fan of Deno :) just missing why it's such a popular post (maybe more Deno fans?)

It was mainly intended to be a "cute" example of the latter.

Technically if you were doing this in Node, you would need at least a package.json and would have to configure your TS/JSX transpile, etc...

You mean you are a user ? Fans are for music :)

I'm actually still a Node user! I really like how Deno has been innovating this space though and it's come a long way in the last couple of years so I'm looking forward to making the switch at some point. Even if I never do for some reason (most likely node API specific libraries) it has really given Node some reasons to innovate in a few places and I love Deno for that as well.
