Deno, and The Future of JavaScript Runtimes
summary
Deno is a secure JavaScript and TypeScript runtime built on V8 and Rust that enforces zero-trust permissions for disk, network and environment access, resolves modules as full URLs (no node_modules magic), and treats TypeScript as first class. The toolchain moves parsing and transforms into Rust using swc, cutting a cold TypeScript workflow from ~1800 ms to about 75 ms for transpile work. The CLI already bundles into a single file distributable, serves a demo static site via the Oak middleware, and fetches modules from deno.land.
