SitePen·5yDeno: Desktop JS Evolved
Deno is a system for executing JavaScript code in various environments ( desktop, command-line, server, etc.) Unlike Node.js, Deno restricts a script’s capabilities by default. Without explicit permission, a Deno script can not open network connections or access the environment.
Hashnode·5yWhy I left Node for Deno 🦕
Deno is a javascript runtime like Nodejs but with some changes. With Deno, you no longer need to install packages with package managers like NPM. Imports are done with Urls which can be either in deno's package manager with versioning, or directly on the git directory of your favorite library.
Bits and Pieces·5yIs Deno Still a Thing? A Look at the Status of the Node Killer
Deno was created to be an improved version of Node.js, eventually meant to replace it if it was properly accepted by the community. They turned Deno into a full-blow startup, gathering an initial round of 4.9 million dollars of seed capital. With Deno Deploy they’re giving everyone a chance to deploy their Deno code, for free, on the cloud, as a service.
Hacker News·4yDeno joins TC39
Deno has joined ECMA International, the standards organization that is responsible for the JavaScript standard (ECMA-262) We will be pushing for features and improvements to the language that benefit everyone, but especially users of server-side JavaScript. If you have suggestions of features or improvements that could make JavaScript better, please email me at luca@deno.com.
Hacker Noon·5yDesigning a URL Shortener in Deno
Deno is the new JavaScript and TypeScript runtime written in Rust. It offers tight security, TypeScript support out-of-the-box, a single executable to run it. We'll be using one of these libraries, Oak, to build a REST API-based server in Deno. Building a URL shortener we'll use for mapping URLs with their final endpoints.
DZone·5yDeno vs. Node: A Detailed Comparison
Deno is a safe TypeScript run-time on Chrome V8. It had been initially written in Go and now has been revamped in Rust to remain far away from potential garbage collector issues. It executes the code in a sandbox as opposed to Node so by default our program does not have access to the file system, network or environment.
