Discussion on: Have you built anything using Deno?

As far as I know, Ryan wrote it from the ground-up in Rust, and the architecture is pretty different at its core 😉 Deno was born as a fully separate product based on the flaws Ryan learned from Node over the past decade, so I highly doubt it. 😉

The only thing which interests me when it comes to deno is how you can specify what sort of access each module has. This would help prevent future security issues similar to what happened with the whole flatmap-stream fiasco.

Some things being built into the platform (like test framework) don't really appeal to me as the nodejs ecosystem has already settled on a lot of de facto libraries. For things that are still up in the air I already know what I'd want to use. Its not really solving any issues for me when it comes to that.

Built-in typescript support is nice, but it isn't going to take that long to setup in nodejs. Is it really worth the overhead of using a new platform? Are we going to save time in the end? I'm quite sceptical.

Well, as you point out, there are some improvements so it's really not that much of a different platform overall.
