It's nice to see Deno recognized here. The ability of scripts written for Deno to import their dependencies by full URL instead of being dependent on a separate package.json + package manager install step being done first helps a surprising amount with certain tasks. It becomes possible to post a complete working block of code that uses arbitrary libraries into a single immediately executable code block online for example. Compare to Node or Python where any code block casually posted online to be really complete needs to be paired with an explanation to first npm install some specific packages (with specific version numbers, if the code snippet is meant to be useful in the future). There's a difference between posting code that's usable on an end user's machine with a few manual often-implicit steps done separately vs one that's immediately executable with exactly the intended environment as-is.
