Deno is a free and open source JavaScript runtime built on Google’s V8 engine, Rust, and Tokio. It’s designed to offer a more secure and standardized alternative to Node.js, with native TypeScript support. Deno 2.0 just released and it’s a significant update, focusing on improved compatibility with Node.js and addressing developer feedback. Some of the key features are backwards compatibility with Node.js and npm, native support for package.json and node_modules, and a stabilized standard library.
