Deno in 2024
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- yellow_lead 2y agoWhen I did a prototype with deno, I was interested in testing with SQLite. Wanting more performance, I went to enable WAL, only to discover it's not supported. To make it worse, I couldn't get the version from npm to work either. I like the ideas and simplicity of deno, but my opinion after only spending a few days with it, is that it tries to replace everything, but for each of those things, it only recreates 80% of the functionality. I also think being backwards compatible with npm is a blessing and curse. A blessing because it can onboard more users, but a curse because those users have no incentive to switch now, since cross compatibility would also allow them to switch later.
- frou_dh 2y agoNot that this helps retroactively, but the proper SQLite that's in fact already inside the Deno binary (rusqlite) will soon be usable from JS/TS when https://github.com/denoland/deno/pull/27308 https://github.com/denoland/deno/pull/27308 is landed, as opposed to the several somewhat hacky third-party FFI/Wasm packages, one of which you presumably tried.
- yellow_lead 2y agoHappy to see that progress! Thanks
