Security is literally the main selling point of this thing. Otherwise just use node.

  Strawman security questions without an understanding of the tool are not very useful.

  There are a lot selling points. To me, the main one is typescript with no build.

    Clearly they have never dealt with JavaScript build tools and npm. A complete nightmare.

      Who hasn't? Isn't this precisely one of the pros of Deno?
      • choward 6y ago
        Yes. That's why I said that.

    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.

  It’s one of the selling points. One of the main points I took away was ” 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.

  Promise-based APIs sold me.
