Technically, Deno is V8 and only runs JavaScript.
Deno supports and encourages writing code in TypeScript but the way it works is: Deno bundles TypeScrit compiler, uses it to convert TypeScript to JavaScript and then executes the JavaScript.
It can also run JavaScript files directly.
Deno's runtime is a bunch of JavaScript APIs + TypeScript typings so that they can be understood by TypeScript code.
- gnabgib 6y agoThere's a great Software Engineering Daily podcast with Elio Rivero [0] (audio and transcript in link) that goes into depth on Deno, TypeScript, JavaScript support. It's interesting that compile time was the (TS) killer.
