I can only speak from a node developer perspective but deno makes some promises that I would consider absolute killer features should they work as advertised:
- no hassle with `node_modules`
- no hassle with `npm install` and `npm ci`
- no hassle with `package-lock.json`
- no hassle with `node-gyp`
- no hassle with setting up Typescript
On the nice to have side I would mention:
- opinionated take on linting, testing and formatting
- possibility to compile into self-contained executables
- klavinski 5y agoDeno can compile into self-contained executables: https://deno.land/manual@v1.16.0/tools/compiler https://deno.land/manual@v1.16.0/tools/compiler
- kbenson 5y ago> possibility to compile into self-contained executables That it can already do this is what brought me into doing some stuff with deno. It's just deno compile to make a self contained executable (don't forget permission flags). It's a bit large at over 40 MB, but honestly that's not something I'm going to care too much about given how straightforward and easy it is and since it's not that large.
