Where it is used

  • Netlify — Netlify used Deno Subhosting to build and ship its edge functions product within weeks, choosing it over building their own solution on AWS Lambda. Source

What people are saying

I love Deno and I use this, but I really wish they would fix this dumb bug: https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/16466

This does not necessarily invalidate your wider points, but just FYI: > It does not interop with JavaScript. Hm, this depends on your definition of "interop". My JavaScript and TypeScript are languages that exchange information. The execution model ultimately involves JavaScript when I use tsc, but ultimately it also includes an interpreter. My user-space syntax doesn't care. > There is no such thing as a TypeScript runtime engine. Not being glib, just a heaps up: https://github.com/denoland/deno

TypeScript is very easy to use with Node. You can also use the debugger in WebStorm with it just fine, and you'll be stepping through your TS code instead of your generated JS code. The problem is really the Node ecosystem, which is a mess and a circus of security issues. Deno[1] may fix most of JS/Node's problems eventually. For now, if you want a type system that's comparable to TS with a great ecosystem, the best you can get is either F# or Kotlin. If you're not a fan of ML, then you might want to start with Kotlin. 1. https://github.com/denoland/deno
