The "free" in this case is a verb. The objects are freed from the background.

Their motivation is explained in the first post of the series[1]

Maybe we can spend this downtime researching self-hosting options

I use AltTab [0] for this. I find using a mac without it horrendous.

Here is the relevant Github issue with a better explanation:

What I'm looking for is the equivalent of this .npmrc contents to access an NPM module on Github Packages:

  //npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=${AUTH_TOKEN}
  @myEmployer:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com/

My impression is that the document you've linked isn't related to their NPM compatibility, but perhaps I need to look more into it.

I've enjoyed trying to use Deno for a small new service at $WORK. Sadly had to give up and retreat back to Node due to missing support for private NPM repositories and lack of Datadog tracing support.

Their compatibility is getting better and better, so I'm confident Deno will eventually be a clear "better Node".
