Why hasn’t Deno taken off? Seems Node.js is still very popular.

We are migrating one of our projects from Node.js to Deno this year. We’ll see how it goes. :slight_smile:

$ deno --version
deno 1.14.2 (release, x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)
v8 9.4.146.16
typescript 4.4.2

For an article that just came out I’m surprised it’s using such an old deno version, here’s mine for comparison;

❯ deno --version
deno 1.18.2 (release, x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)
v8 9.8.177.6
typescript 4.5.2

I really like that deno is typescript-first.

Quite a number of things in the article I didn’t know about Deno yet, quite nice!
