Deno is Ryan Dahl's redo of Node with the lessons of a decade applied. It runs TypeScript natively, sandboxes file and network access by default, and ships a full toolchain (fmt, lint, test, bench) in one binary. v2 added full npm and Node compatibility, which removed the biggest historical objection. Deno Deploy is a serverless edge runtime that pairs well with the language. A great fit for greenfield TypeScript projects that value secure-by-default and a unified toolchain.
