Deno is the thing I think I can realistically hope for as a technological breakthrough in 2022.
If it does it can become huge. Not because of TypeScript as a native language. Not because it can create binaries. Not because it has an audited standard library or any other good reason.
But because it includes a simple but flexible way to prevent itself from doing things the author didn't want it to.
If we are extremely lucky other platforms will pick this up.
