Presented Deno at an In-House Study Session

What is Deno

A secure runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript → Uses V8 and is written in Rust (runtime part) and TypeScript (std module part).

An astonishing level of interest with 60k stars (by the way, Node.js has 70k stars).

Ryan Dahl himself repeatedly states in responses to issues that it is a completely new runtime separate from Node.js, and it is clear that there is no intention to reuse npm library assets.
