Deno – a better Node.js?
summary
Shows Deno as a standalone v8 runtime written in Rust using tokio, bundles a TypeScript compiler and caches compiled JS globally, and demonstrates a small Oak HTTP server that runs after Deno downloads files and the presenter grants permissions. Highlights: TypeScript out of the box, URL imports and no node_modules or required package.json, built‑ins like test runner, formatter and bundler, and explicit security via flags such as --allow-net and --allow-read; example actually runs.
