The Deno Standard Library

dzonga1y ago· 3 in thread

this is amazing. as it brings a sort of golang standard library to js / deno.

which is funny given cz one of the node guys, once left node to do golang.

but now seems node.js / deno or bun and the variants have squeezed golang on one side, while java / kotlin squeeze it on another.

Contrary to Go, at least node ecosystem embraces modern programming language features, and Typescript makes it bearable.

With C++ and Rust, as the main companions for native modules.

You're forgotten about Scala, Clojure, C# and F# as well.

Outside Kubernetes/Docker ecosystem I don't have any reason to touch Go.

I'd take Go's minimalism and simplicity over dealing with the JS ecosystem any day of the week. One produces readable code and reasonably safe software, with a powerful standard library. The other is a mess of abstractions and frameworks, and the largest risk of supply chain attacks in modern IT infrastructure. At least Deno is a step in the right direction, but the ecosystem it integrates with is a dumpster fire.

Great tooling, I found a lot of packages useful. Asking out of curiosity what is the purpose of creating the exact same function, as to my knowledge, the standard lodash library?

Had no idea they were targeting the browser environment with the Deno standard lib. I've been thinking about how cool that would be for a while.
